Or ask a co-worker.

The tentative plan is for the duplex to be in his name with myself as a co-signer (my credit is better but he can use traditional financing as a first time home buyer). 

@Gabriel Greco Sure as long as you qualify for a mortgage or have a co-signer, and have money for a down payment, closing costs, escrow, and money for fixing stuff (I'm assuming at $50k or less the property needs work).

I know of a co-worker who was able to do this a couple of years ago with a house near Pasadena and didn't even have to pay cash (use bank financing instead).I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. 

I own a co-op in NYC, so this is not my first buying experience, but it is my first investment / rehab project that doesn't fall under standard finance. 

So in order to qualify for this home you may need a co-signer or you may need to pay off your other debts or bring in a big enough down payment to bring the DTI down.

Does anyone know what the going rate/percentage for a Co-Host is to keep up with an Air BNB property?  

Can you get a co-signer?

Hey Guys,I am a co-owner/manager of an LLC that owns and operates investment properties in California.

This will likely be a refi, with a co-signer.
