Home ownership is the number one way to build personal wealth.  

Just be sure to do your due diligence and once you find a home then work the numbers for that specific home. 

I have spent a lot of time on the phone with them and they genuinely want to improve what they are offering for investors.  

DSCR lenders will be able to go up to 80% LTV and require no seasoning as long as there has been documented improvements and the property can debt service at the higher loan amount. 

Cross-check pay stubs with what it says on their application.If you are willing to take it that far, visit them at home.

When structured favorably, seller carried transactions can offer lower down payments, below market rates and terms and improved cash flow and cash on cash return.

In most cases, new retail leases come with some amount of concessions from the Landlord which primarily consist of a Free Rent Period to allow the new Tenant to build out their space and a Tenant Improvement Allowance which is a pre-negotiated amount of money that the Landlord contributes to the Tenant to assist with the cost of the build out of the space. a Free rent period can be anywhere form 1 month to 1 year (or more) and a Tenant Improvement Allowance could be $5.00 per square foot or $50.00 per square foot (and in some cases a LOT more).

Make improvements to the house to raise the appraised value. 

At least in my area, my landlord association has a shared home depot account for their members resulting in serious savings.

Congrats - looks like a home run!
