For example, you have a place to rent, two applicants come, one has a 500 credit score and one has a 750 credit score.

@Tara MontgomeryThose that do check, you generally need a good credit score, not a great one.

Put 5% down, maxed out 3% credits, got an additional $3,000 out of inspection items, rolled commission into deal, after all of that and prorated rents we only came out of pocket $2,000 for the acquisition.

With a major home remodel and addition under my belt and a strong interest in environmentally responsible home building, I am gearing up to begin an investing journey.

Save for a down payment, check credit, reduce debt, research real estate investing options, build a network, conduct property analysis, make the purchase, negotiate a mortgage, manage the property, consider long-term strategies, create a savings plan, and connect with experienced investors.Good luck!

Additionally, I'm keen to know which pockets of Nashville you all consider the hottest right now.

But trust me, it's possible to make it happen even without a ton of cash or perfect credit.I’ve been in your shoes and managed to buy a number of properties without using my own credit or cash.

We are purchasing a flip property in Cape May, NJ and the septic system may be undersized given the addition of a guest house to the property.

But if not BankofAmer, would another mortgage lender take on the 2 mortgages and blend the interest rates together based on my credit and possibly even cash flow?

This is easy to see in earnings reports for credit card companies (that continue to blow out earnings, with travel as their lead category), hotel companies, and Airbnb itself.I think a lot of it is just going overseas now as international travel continues to strengthen.
