I know that might be a bit of a stretch but I have excellent credit and am willing to put skin in the game.

Seller FinancingLine of Credit Wait for a rich family member to die (I don't have one of those) At this point my DTI Is still pretty decent and they would probably give me personally, at least one more property until the 2 years worth of W2s come in, but I want to take this thing to the next level.

My bride and I want to invest in downtown condos in some select markets like KC, but for now we are trying to raise the money and develop the credit to do so.

My credit is great and I have additional w2 income as well.

I hate to say but one of the best ways to improve one's knowledge is by learning from other people's mistake.

Try other local community banks and credit unions and if they will not approve conventional then inquire with their commercial department.

Awesome stuff and great tips on improving as an Investor!

We have great credit scores and high income.

We're under contract right now for $480 with 2k credit back from seller to cover closing costs.

I credit real estate educators for teaching people how to wholesale get deals which is by far way more creative and aggressive.
