as long as you don't need the income to qualify for the primary loan, you're fine. 

Hello there,I am a first time "out of town" investor, looking into Pittsburgh's Metropolitan for my first deal.I focused mainly on Allegheny county mostly, but having a bit hard time focusing on one specific area.My strategy is to purchase a property for long term rentals.I was hoping to get some insights into attractive areas for first timers such as myself, with good prospects and at reasonable costs?

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $40,000 purchase Price $285kRenovation Cost $40k (on budget)Renovation Time: 41 daysARV: $425kIf you are looking for a long term or short term rental in old town alexandria or just a small / tiny home primary residece with NO HOA right on King Street, this is your home.Contact with questions, interest, referrals of anyone you think might love it. more photos will be uploaded soon.

By the time I figure this out all offers on table will have been long since received probably, but since it's popped up twice in a row now, it's bound to pop up again.

In my opinion that strategy is best for long distance investing where you need to rely on others to find the properties and handle the day to day.

Per other comments, I would not only ask for the last 3 client referrals, but I would also be asking contractor for general scope of works and their timelines.  

Lastly, you can use the find a lender tool up top of BiggerPockets to find reputable lenders. 

Hi all, I am curious if anyone were to have a rough draft for a cosigner agreement for a long-term tenant lease?

I have a long term tenant that seems to state that they’re having ants, spider, and wasp problems.

Still, where can you get that ROI on my funds in something relatively risk free as long as you buy right?
