Given the totality of what you posted, you probably need the "tip" income from your job to "count," which will indeed only be counted after it appears on a couple years of tax returns.The base salary component of your income can be counted right away provided you work full time, with the college transcripts potentially serving to satisfy 2 year work history requirement, but that tip/bonus/overtime/whatever component needs to be on a couple years of tax returns.

I think there is an important emotional and mental wellness component to choosing where to live.

You generally will need to find something that needs major repairs or would need to have a value add component to it in some way. aka adding square footage, creating a second unit with an ADU.

Hi @Jenae TegtmeierI suggest staging whichever room needs defining.

This can even be defined in the Op Agreement to reference later.

Your cracks are in the slab (not footings) and thats not a structural component, so inspector probably wont worry about that. 

@Kristi Wolfe - I think first you need to define your expectations and comfort level. 

The easiest way to stop your head from spinning is to just look at each component one-by-one, and let that help you get into a property.

Out of town, high percentage POHs, and a lack of park experience, are all components of an equation that equals potential disaster. 

You will get a lot of comments on the good and bad of CRMs but I live by the philosophy that you should build and define your processes first, then build the tool to accommodate the processes.
