I  Income:  The amount of property you can buy will be dependent on your Debt to Income ratio.  

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

And for the evidence, I would guess that they'll want to see some evidence of the income from the rental days.

•Verifying the buyer’s ability to repay (documenting their income is key).

BUT...if you're American and can still get loans in the US (the silver lining of having to still file US income taxes while living abroad), then why not use leverage?   

Fake income documents are easily purchased online, and inexperienced screeners often miss red flags.

Hi, long time follower, however not too much on posting.Goal: I’m looking to purchase a 3 family property in central CT.Position: Currently I own two condominiums that are under an LLC.

Depends on the brokerage you have, but the one we use currently has a rate at 5.83% at 50% LTV.

If you buy in a prime location with desirable amenities, you’re setting yourself up for steady income and long-term growth.

@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.
