@Razak Amadu check with your lender and tell them your intentions, you should be fine.

Purchased with intention of renting but did not have a really thorough grasp of the numbers at time of purchase.

I am also fortunate to have $80k+ in savings that I could put forward but had no intention to do so.

I am a new investor ready to put in a cash offer on a property in new jersey with the intent to BRRRR.

So there's no chance that the realtor representing the owner could be lying to me regarding the mortgage payoff with the intentions of 360k being my lowest offer?

Give some thought to staying a W2 employee and let your wife get her license for now, and then buying a home with the intention to rent it out after you've lived in it for a year.

My 90 day goal when I first began using the 90 Days of Intention Journal from @Brandon Turner in May was to get my first multifamily deal in Cleveland, OH.

When trying to whole sell a home would you ever consider telling the home owner your full intentions ?

Depending on the location there are definitely numerous investors that buy property in California with the intention of renting it out whether it's for short term or long term.Depending on where you're looking in California the first step is to reach out to specific people in that location to ask their experiences of investing and what type of investments are the best. 

(I'm not from the Cali market, but I do know there are meetup groups formed in Cali with the intent to build awareness of how to invest outside of your market in Cali.
