So my shorter term goals have changed to include making enough rental income, along with my savings, on our first two properties to spend a month exploring Europe within a year after graduation.

You can call your current lender If they can offer some thing which can save money and time for you.

All banks I have spoke with say the same thing -“we are going to look at everything “Your w2 income your businesses your property your debt your cash reserves your savings your retirement funds .. everything and calculate from there .

After an 18 month battle costing me over $50k, I have 50% time with my two biological kids, saved my house and my business and lived to see another day.

Furthermore, I've developed a strategy to save enough cash to get started on investing; only thing is I dont know where to go from there!

Save my info as well, I’m mainly in riverside county area but will look at anything in so cal as well.

Once I was debt free, I had about 2 years before my first operational assignment, so I saved for a down payment on my first house, which I’ve always intended to make a rental when I PCS.

This way you could save more, start building your rental property portfolio and start wholesaling deals as well.

I mostly just listen to podcasts and submerge myself into as much as I can to learn cause I work full time and also want to save up more before going to a bank!

Instead, save your money for the downpayment on your first rental or something.
