I only qualify for about $500,000 with my W-2 income.Without getting a private investor, is there anyway I can prove previous rental income in order to use the potential rental income to qualify for the loan.

So far I have been seeing the markets saturated with agents and investors.

i think the unique quirks of it made it scary for some investors.

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

Is there a standard verbiage for us real estate investors.

Quote from @Steve Tokita: I am an out-of-state investor living 1500 miles away from three properties that I am currently renovating to rent or to flip. 

I am a newbie investor, originally from southwestern, PA and now currently located in Washington, DC.
