I recently walked in the shoes you are wearing right now being a military guy in SoCal and going back and forth on investing in state vs out of state.

Put yourself in the bank's shoes.

I am in your shoes very similar in my investing career.  

I was in your shoes about a year ago and it took a while for me to find the right brokerage and I ended up with West USA Realty.

I have not been in your shoes where one applicant has enough financial muscle to back the mortgage and the other partner does not, but those two people will help if they can.

Years ago I was in the exact same shoes you are now.

Hi Justin, If I was in your shoes, I would consider turning your current property into a rental unit and using the equity in the home to purchase a multi-family through, FHA or Freddie Mac's Homepossible mortgage to only put down 3%-5%.

Its a very common misunderstanding how mortgage lending works as opposed to getting a credit card, for example.I’ve surmised there are a lot of things those flipping shoes aren’t telling you.

Brandon, there are so many in the exact same shoes as you so don't feel alone.

I remember being in your shoes like it was yesterday.
