@Carlos Rodriguez we've got Canadian clients from Toronto and Vancouver.Have tax attorney, CPA, etc. to assist also:)DM us if interested in chatting...

Do you assist with rental management in the 53206 zip code maybe around 16th /North?

@Kyle Trotman, for local conventional lenders, feel free to message me, and I can provide a few points of contact who may be able to assist.

But right now, it's my understanding that Texas has given a little more time on the requirements.Be happy to assist you...and the price is right...LOL, I don't charge any fee!

@Lake Lutes is in your neck of the woods and can assist you with identifying rental properties.

Hiring a contractor to assist with repairs and a property management company to manage rental.

I would talk to your servicer to see if they can assist you. 

Applying for assistance means YOU get paid and helps YOU.

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

If you don’t have a large down payment saved up, don’t worry—there are plenty of options available . . .”A trusted lender will go over the various loan types with you, any down payment requirements on those, and down payment assistance programs you may qualify for.
