The corporate human factors folks specify both the color (wavelength) and intensity for the plethora of indicators we have to put on these boards.  

The Gozone was 15 minutes I just had to prove I was a RE professionalAirplane was more intense I needed my log books , my day timers ,,, they want to make sure your not using it for recreation and the 100 dollar hamburger flights .. and are really using it for business  as these were huge deductions as well.

They pay what you can't pay and you work out either a preferred rate of return or an equity split.

As suggested above try breaking into small intense study sessions.

Hi @Josh Foret,My first thought is you should have more in savings for unexpected expenses.However, if the stars align and each of the following apply, it could work out well for you.Value- you find a multifamily for a good price that does not have any deferred maintenance.Loan- you can get a low down payment mortgage like FHA or a first home buyer program.Expenses- the income from the rental units lowers your personal housing expenses allowing you to save more than you are currently.Good luck!

Do you make that a starting point during your workouts?

Perhaps we can take that offline at some point and determine what type of work I would help put in and where the property is to see if that would work out for us.

So, for example, if your husband is in the same general industry as he's always been, but just getting paid as a contractor now instead of as an employee, they may be able to take the longevity of his career in that particular industry into account rather than issuing a blanket "no" statement.In any case, can't hurt to give her a call.Credit unions generally do portfolio loans as well, so calling around may work out for you.

We did speak about the deal over a month and a half to work out what would be a good deal for both of us but the conversations were pleasant and I would not be surprised if we end up partnering on some deals or if this investor purchases some of my other rentals.

Doesn't always work out that way, but that's the concept.
