If you want to bump those rents up, you can try a furnished medium-term rental, but depending on the specific area, that might be tougher only because traveling nurses and remote workers tend to want to stay in areas that are a little further along.

Easiest answer is your family member is your co-applicant.

hello everyone so I'm currently going thru an issue with my x girlfriend she signed on the deed and loan for 2 houses we purchased, but the mortgage payment only comes out of my account for the better part of 6 years ...

But how many of these folks only "co-own" these properties?  

This time again were very close to qualifying by ourselves but in the end, in order to do the cash-out refi, we had my dad co-sign the loan (however his name is not on the title). 

I could get in with 5% down and get a co sign for the mortgage no problem.

Make sure to conform with your areas legal requirements, because in Boulder, CO you are not allowed to ask for income information.

We flip in WA state where the market is hot and I have been challenging myself on what is good and what is over the top.if you spend time searching Amazon, clearance sections, Ikea, &  build relationships with vendors (my countertop Co) you can source current on trend finishes and not spend a ton. 

I'm still waiting for an answer from a few other lenders but it seems the only thing left to do is find someone to co-sign on a mortgage with me.
