If you do want to get financing do it before you quit because it is almost impossible w/o a W-2.Why not consider instead of one or the other of quitting or staying, maybe a 3rd option where you quit that job but find ways to bring in other income.Keeping job usually best bet until you are solid financially.

For example you need to research a field of getting a 4 year degree versus a masters degree.

If they raised wages from 7.50 to 12(not 15 they are asking for) I'd bet a burger price could go up a nickel and more than cover the wage increase, but the burger lords will probably take the price up a quarter and profit even more (watch and see).

But I will bet in 10 years wewill all be glad we skipped those things

You're betting values will go up and you can sell later for a big enough profit to cover the negative cash flow while you're holding the property.

If you broke down the investor's hourly wage i would bet it wouldn't sound as good as him making that chunky $30k sounds.

I bet you guys have no idea of how your examiner days will open doors in the future, you'll be surprised to learn, even if you stay to retirement or go into other areas of finance/RE.As to debt service, I just raised the rent to cover it, as rates go up so does most everything else, so my simple approach was to keep my margin.

For instance someone can make hundreds of thousands a year but be self employed and be risky to that lender versus someone making a 9 to 5 job.Sine the lender see their income as STABLE and they fit in a vanilla box they are considered less risk.

SO, you can let her know that you know that she was offered moving expenses and that you will contact her company and make sure that they have the correct figures, I bet she would pay up very quickly, as it wouldn't look good for her if her boss found out how irresponsible and vindictive she is.
