@Adam Elbary If they are signing on the loan, they would be considered a co-borrower because they would be on the hook for the loan as well and it would allow you claim to be an experienced investor as a team.

When you have a co-signer on a multi-unit property, you are not able to take advantage of the low down payment with FHA.

To avoid the negative reprecutions that could jeapordise your loan aprovaol, one could use a co-signer, essentillay having someone else open a line and lend it for your use.

With a large enough down payment, you may be able to find something that works if the property is something you can afford.You can look into seller financing or getting a co-signer as alternative methods to getting a loan.

have them have a co-signer or you could ask for proof of the last two months of income.

I understand the new tenant would need to have a credit and background check and we'd check references, but what if they are unable to meet the income qualification (assuming they can't get a co-signer)?

You can always hire a co-host to help you until you get comfortable.

You won't have any problems getting pre-approved but when you go to get your next loan your lender will see that you had a co-signer. 

For example, at a co op at 57th street, the 3400 square foot apartment should be worth around $1,000 per f2, or $3.4 million.  

Expect delays when dealing with municipal entities like a co-op water office and electricity providers.
