The determining factors on which markets to consider investing include: a stable and diverse economy, low property taxes, landlord friendly laws, job growth, population growth and a business friendly climate.

One of the most over looked things is looking at blended rate IF you are consolidating debt.

Also, I no longer include utilities in my longer leases.

Or, you can do something like a debt service loan that looks more at the income potential of the property - FICO will still be a factor, but not the other stuff I mentioned. 

Apparently, the contract I executed included a clause for PMI for the life of the loan.

Maybe it's worth finding a cash-flowing asset that you can invest into that doesn't require a new mortgage on your part -- something syndicated or a NNN TIC property where you're just buying into a portion of the property and its existing debt load. 

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

(That guy got a quick "Non-Renewal" notice, and left everything in the unit but the clothes on his back, which included some 50 contractor bags full (Tenant didn't fill the bags, our guys did!)

I also have a partner with a full time job and great credit score as well, so maybe my best option would be to include him and have him apply for the mortgage.
