@Chris Kay beleive you can do DSR loans without a job as they qualify the property, not the borrower.You'd still need 20-25% down though.That's where you have a decision:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- Save up for your next acquisition.Only YOU can make that decision as you have to be comfortable with the increasing debt-load risk and the additional time to manage everything.

It's your job to create a buffer between the tenants before they start fighting as well.

Long term, the Austin market will do just fine with strong population and job growth.

A tenant lost his job at the same time as his wife, I met with them and found out they had family in Atlanta thay could move in with, but didn't have the money to get there.

The seller had a military contractor job with security clearance.

Do a weekly drive by and admire your tangible asset.

My job is flexible which I think would be important when trying to manage my first property so thats why .

I wouldn't use them to complete the job, they've already shown they aren't doing quality work.

I have run them before but not my day job.

So he can do a crappy job and still get the funds.
