Hi BiggerPockets community,We are a married couple based in the California Bay Area, both working as software engineers with a combined income of close to a Million USD.

First of all, my personal credit was a very good at 735 midscore. 100% financed tidied it up just a little bit more with  just cleaning up a couple of things on my credit.

If you are single or a couple on the same page about house hacking, look for uneven multis.

Since I had a couple million in mortgages in my personal name, I couldn’t do it.  

Something a couple of my beginner investors like to do is live in the property for a year or two then move into the next one and rent out the first one.Most important thing you can do is research the different niches within real estate investing and decide what fits best for you.

And this low demand could be a couple of factors, either a rural location with low population density or the area incomes are not high enough in order to prevent a rent burdened scenario. 

Definitely open an LLC if you haven’t done so already and once you have a couple under your belt, you will have lenders lining up for your business.

I live in Phoenix and my business partner and I put on a couple local forums for investors like yourself to network.

Anyone can get one and it's a couple hundred dollars. 

I will be fully moved to Denver over the next couple of weeks.
