Yes, some extra cuts, but way more stable.

Cory -   it doesnt  sound like you will need  this extra income for  qualifying so no need to wait  fyi  if your hours  will be  guaranteed and stable   , then the  higher income  should be usable ...if the  hours  are not guaranteed (  eg.. overtime ….seasonal …..not consistent ) , then  likely to not be usable Going FHA is not that  wise  as  the  FHA mortgage insurance is permanent and wont be able to  be eliminated  unless you refinance the loan plus you will have a  large upfront mortgage insurance that you have to pay at closing  ….consider using  a conventional  loan  as the mortgage insurance will  be able to drop off or be eliminated in the  future

I’m also reading books as well as resources on the forum to acquire some RE knowledge.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

For appraisal your comps are the same sqft as your neighbor, but with an extra bedroom, so I wouldn't expect it to add much unfortunately. make sure you or someone is at the property to talk to the appraiser.

Does anyone have knowledge or speculation of what might happen to Fundrise or other crowdfunding sites if the real estate market has a downturn?

I’ve been following the forum to build my knowledge as I prepare to purchase my first investment property.

I have a very solid knowledge of construction and have a passion to share/teach others and see them grow as well.WHAT I WANT TO LEARN:I am an awkwardly tall (1" shorter than @beardybrandon) sponge.

@John Woodrich You’re pretty knowledgeable about zoning do you have any ideas on this?

I am still new to investment world and don’t have much of experience or knowledge of how to analyze the market.
