I thought this would be a good deal for the cosigner especially since they aren't having to put in any skin in the game except their name on the note.  

I'm just getting into the game down here but have the Northwest on my radar as a place to invest in the near future and likely move to again-- how is the market up there?

We all have fears but some of us understand that risk are apart of the game and others are too fearful of risk.

The good part about mentioning you are an investor is that if you make the lender feel you know the game really well, they will treat you like a potential repetitive income source.

I am currently employed in the Gaming Industry in Biloxi.  

I have absolutely no affiliation with B2R finance whatsoever and haven't heard of them since this post but when you come on a public forum (one that appears at the top of a lot of real estate related google searches) and are skeptical of a lender with no direct or indirect experience with them it is just not right to do in my opinion to just throw things out there with no basis.When the gentleman from B2R finance responded to your post you responded with a response not addressing the B2R rep and gave some vague skepticism of out of state lenders and their interest rates compared to your local lender.Not sure what your angle is here, but if you could clarify what your issue with B2R is we would all like to hear it.  

I've learned more and more that real estate is a life long game and patience is key.  

Everyone likes a little skin in the game. 

The numbers are slightly lower than the properties we purchased ourselves but that's to be expected.I am not affiliated with them and they didn't pay me to say that. 

A lot of people dream and never get in the game.
