The only thing I didn't do is spend the 25k+ on mentor programs that I thought was stupid because the info was already out there. 

There are also hard money programs that care less about credit and more about the deal, have you tried that route yet?

There is a fee for this as a percentage of your commission, but I think there are at least two choices of programs so I'm not exactly sure what it entails at this time.

This commitment fee will open the doors to a 10X program where you have $50k in an account for a line of credit for $500k. 

Got my MBA from a top-30 program in 2018 and joined a software startup that shuttered in 2019 (you likely won't guess why...). 

One more thing to consider is if the lender will work with the various "First Time" home buyer down payment assistance programs availabe, some based on the home's city.Reach out to me for more details.With warm regards,Tim Theiss , Associate Broker Keller Williams Biltmore Partners Phoenix, Arizona

I have never owned a home so I am hoping to take advantage of any first time home buyer programs in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia).I’m thinking a multi unit will probably be my best bet in order to catchup.Below I have a few questions for the more seasoned folks:-how does qualifying for loan work when you are expecting income from tenants-how do you find properties (they go fast here in DC)-how do I figure out if it is a good deal or not based on the numbers-should I pursue a commercial property and co timid to rent?

Hey Kyle - wanted to get your thoughts or opinion about the State Rental Assistance Program (where states kicks in 80% of rent and landlord forgives 20%)Do you think landlords should take this deal?

We're just now beginning to see many of these programs creep back into the market although at much more conservative terms than prior."

So if you think you can rent for $3K, your net over time will be more like $2250.I would take advantage of the great relo program & sell the house, then invest some of the proceeds in a more typical SFR play - $200-$275K homes in Austin.
