She has been licensed here for over 20 years, but is very new with this very large RE Company, but it is also relatively new--maybe just a few years old.

In addition, yes - you could certainly get a job related to real estate while you're in college.

The TRUTH is that the vast majority of newbies in the rental business fail in a relatively short period of time.

Thanks, RickI found eventually some info on this topic, but all related to foreclosures scams.

you can show those monies coming from your relative.

(Once the Property Inspection Contingency is removed, whether or not buyer has satisfied him/herself regarding property inspection or received any information relating to the property inspection, Buyer's deposit may not be returned if buyer does not close this transaction).

But it is worth trying; where are values compared to LONG term trends, Where is pricing relative to rents, where are prices relative to household income and affordability?

No, that's the right question...unfortunately, the answer is ZERO and NONE as far as your chances.There are NO non-owner occupant cash out loans (except for hard money) that a lender will not look at your credit and income.And there probably won't ever be again.Best to build up your credit (not that hard if you have none) and find someone to partner with.No credit is better than bad credit, and by finding a partner as co-owner (should be a blood relative), you can buy a home with just 3% down FHA, as an owner occupant.Don't ever, EVER, EVER, pay ALL CASH for a property unless you plan to flip it FAST !!!

It is military related though, so I guess that explains the discrepancy.
