My favorite credit union is Navy Federal, because they offer a long draw period. 

My realtor said that initially he thought the ARV for my building would only increase by about $60K but that if I held over the long term eventually I would get the value.

BP is a great place as long as you understand that most posts containing preferred locations have a strong marketing bias.

Not sweating the small stuff and focusing on the big picture and long term really makes things easier.

The version of AI we have now is akin to the first smart phones - mine was a pretty bad Windows phone and I fought to keep my Blackberry as long as I could.

There are guidelines of how long you need to live in the property and under what conditions you can move.

I'd suggest a long conversation with someone actually doing these types of investing, (there are actually variations), in which a forum conversation leaves out, a lot you need to know. 

Find a lender who understands your long term real estate goals and understands that rental income can help knock down your DTI to qualify for more loans and acquire more properties. 

But these are the people that will buy houses or be long time renters. 

Anything is helpful, in term of the services you use, your client's avatar, the return/work compared to long term rental.
