We have a few rentals already so qualifying with conventional products is getting more and more difficult.

Rarely if ever do we get a call throughout the year from them.However, we had one highly qualified tenant who happened to be an alcoholic.

Also if you're going to buy a condo in Arlington you might want to put it on a corporate job board.

No boarded up windows Nicely kept yards Even a few friendly hellos and waves as we were walking the neighborhoods 

I would assume this would qualify for the 30% tax credit, maybe not since it is for a rental; but who knows with the current state of our government.

ONCE your accept co-signers you set a loop hole for anyone else that want's to rent that doesn't qualify.. so you'll need to let others rent with co-signers.The only clause we had for using co-signer was if applicant was a student and then we would permit co-signers.She wouldn't qualify in my standards.

-Obtain second property: You should be able to easily qualify for a loan depending on down payment requirements (since you have only the mortgage payment, and I'm assuming you claim the rent from your ADU on your taxes). 

Two things could happen, you convert it, you apply for permit, the city inspects it, city calls code enforcement to check on other parts of the house, decides to give you citation, then you fix that, chiching ; or, you don’t qualify, you get a citation, you are forced to fix it, double chiching.

I’m pre qualified @70K based on income and OT, but I don’t think I have formal preapproval.

She also doesn't qualify for a VA loan.
