And which would likely provide most steady rental income? 

W2 income and a steady paycheck while expecting/having a child will keep your mind at ease.

Now I have decent credit and a steady income, and I’ve done a wholesale deal, yet I’m stuck on my next move.There’s a duplex I would like to purchase at a decent price that needs work, but without a loan, I’m afraid I might miss out.I’ve heard of Private lenders and hard money lenders, but most lenders won’t lend to you if you’ve never had some sort of relationship with them in the past (understandable... trust).

We've seen some variation in performance across market segments such as condos downtown underperforming compared to the rest of the market, and a bit of inconsistency in the high-end luxury price bands, but overall appreciation has remained steady. 

I'm currently searching in Albuquerque, NM because of its steady market, it may not appreciate as quickly as other areas, but the market does not fluctuate as greatly as other markets.How about yourself?

Right now I'm sitting with:1600$ personally saved up in my bank account A steady paying job ($200, every other week)My families also in the middle class.I want to know what I should be doing right now with that income and my 1600$ saved up.

At this exact moment I can not qualify for a loan due to the fact that I haven't had the same job for longer than a year so I don't show a steady income stream. 

You can utilize your VA loan benefits but you will have to provide proof of steady income in order to qualify for the loan.

Sell them on the idea of steady income every month and then a big payoff when you sell/refinance the property.

But whatever... more importantly....BLOZF is now the only pick that i would recommend buying  at this point, though it has grown with the rest of the stocks on the market, and yes its more of a "green bubble" than a steady increase.
