Hey @Franco Carollo 👋🏽If you're goal is to acquire rental properties for long-term growth, you should consider a house-hack with 3.5% FHA or 5% conventional financing where you can live in one unit and rent out the others and repeat as often as you can to build your portfolio.

As a result, I'm finding it incredibly challenging to establish credit or secure traditional sources of income.Currently, my kids and I are living with my parents in Sigourney, having moved there last June.

My property is in Utah and I unfortunately live in California.  

I plan on living in this with roommates for 2 years and going onto the next deal.

All of the properties  seem to still have people living there. 

Find out what your SS will be and have either enough cash to cover the lack of that or work a little to compensate for the lack of SS until you can collect.This assumes you can live off your income w/o your W2 when you start collecting.

I’m a new investor who lives in Los Angeles.

If your coach is from across the country, and simply going to provide you a pre-packaged underwriting template, a segment on "how to pick a market", and lives in the world of 300+ unit deals, when you are looking at 30 unit deals, I would pass and use the typical 10s of thousands of dollars towards your downpayment.

I live in Miami and insurance is extremely high.
