I am 19 getting ready to graduate college with an associates degree.

Hello All ,This will be a longer and thorough read, but hopefully the love for this business will make it a shorter read. I

I've been renting a house for awhile.. years actually.. and it has every problem you can think of.. mostly rats and bugs because theres holes and cracks in the doors and places in carpet where mice or rats been getting in and out. then guy raised my rent so i could get pest control but only does it like every 10 months. just say i found something better but the real question is this if i give my landlord a 30 day notice (im not on a lease) but the place im trying to move to might not actually be ready for maybe a week or two after the 30 day notice so in that time ill be homeless if i decided to move out after the 30 days..

Top unit is a one bedroom unit and is ready to rent.

You either need to just be a platform allowing them to find one another (Craigslist model) or you need to be ready and able to take full responsibility for vetting travelers (Airbnb model).

We'll probably begin seriously looking after the holidays and be ready to invest sometime in the spring/summer of next year... we have my son's wedding to take care of first. 

Just have a couple of your questions ready and Just do it. 

HI Roxanne,It is true you need to be in the business for 2 years but no one talks about the details about how that is documented which is either by:- Looking up CA BRE website consumer licensee information which will show how long you've been licensed- CPA letter to sign/date on you being self employed for 2 + years or 5+ years if you're using Freddie Mac's program since Freddie specifically wants 5+ years to use 1 year tax return- or another third party to verify you've been SE (self employed) like business licenses, attorney's, other auditor or licensesWith regards to income like others have mentioned you can use 1 year tax return to base your monthly qualifying income off of.Freddie mac, like mentioned above is a a conventional financing option but the downside with Freddie is they want 5 years in the business as documented with one of the options above.

We think it might be February or March 2018 when we're ready to make our purchase.

Im ready!
