Watch a few youtube videos on increasing your credit score quickly.

As someone else mentioned, if you decide to rent a new property for yourself, you'll want to watch the net change in cashflow or you may be wasting your time and money.

I need to be the first millionaire in my family I promised it to myself, my mom is relying on me and the people that doubted me are watching me.

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

They can watch Hgtv or watch some YouTube or go to some seminar and be easily convinced something is easy and can be done (like remote brrr).My feeling for how people should start out varies by the person.

So I believe mortgages will look at DTI and want to make sure your income covers your current and future debt obligations at a percentage of 40-49% I believe, so their multiple would be more like 2-2.25x, but it's not a real apples to apples comparison. 

But they approved me way to fast without enough questions so even though it was only 10k I just felt I would never get the loan and lose my 10k.. had another scammer drag me to NYC for the dog and pony at least I got a trip to the big apple out of it :)

I have been watching the FB page and did attend a sub2 group meeting or two.
