Basically you have to translate/transcribe the income source (AirBnB) accurately into what FNMA does understand, and in a way she can understand it. 

She was less than cooperative in my opinion and although she kept things by the book, I never felt like she was on my side.If you are looking for as little money down as possible, I learned that scheduling your closing date as early in the month as possible on a property with rented units will translate those rents and deposits right to the bottom line of what dollar value is needed to bring to the close.

I’m thinking of letting him sign a six month lease, keeping the option open to alter the lease should him and the other tenant not get along.

My entire family is in Texas so I definitely plan on moving back down there in a couple of years so I'm a little torn on how should alter my real estate investing strategy.

These were tough to translate into the RE world.

How does that translate in real life? 

Sorry for the rant but I just feel like this is a gaping hole in my real estate investing acumen and could alter my strategy if I can't figure out how to be a buy/hold investor while mitigating personal liability risk with a legal entity. thanks in advance for your help and responses!

Paying cash for an investment property translates to very low return on your money.Congrats, and good luck!
