Aim for a 620+ credit score, save for a down payment, and research markets with strong rental demand.

Hi @Rene Hosman -In a nutshell, I find motivated sellers and tenants with damaged credit (or ones without a large enough down payment) and work to put the tenants in the seller's house with an option to buy.

Down payment assistance/ a VC that partners with first time home buyers to provide a pathway to home ownership would be a welcome addition to the industry!  

Been with them 8 years, they've never missed a payment and they give detailed quarterly status reports. 

Love the idea of helping out a first time buyer, may run into trouble if she's not the primary resident, check w/ lender but I don't think that'll fly w/o more of a down payment.

I been looking to buy my first rental property I already got Pre-approval loan, down payment and criteria for the house.

You make all of the BAH payments back tax free for you.2.  

Did they have bank statements showing utility payments for the rentals?

You will need down payment money, You will need cash reserves Money, you'll need closing costs money, and you will need to get a bank loan.

Furnitured finder is great for finding professional traveler and I like apartments.com because of their payment setup if free for the tenants and myself.
