Banks and credit unions have the same strict standards these days since the mortgage crisis of 2008.What you need is a direct mortgage lender like New American Funding and the like who have looser criteria and rules.You will need to show decent income over the last two tax returns and what you currently bring in monthly

It sounds like you get a decent. rent as long as time keep moving forward and we become a more modern tech society your property will go up, i will hold it for a 4-5 years, till the next market regeneration.  

@Nick Mcgowan American Express?

This is dependent upon our permit and also a historic society approving the update.

I have a theory that the reason why most millionaires in America drive F-150s is because one they can be economical and two because most MIllionaires are created through real estate, otherwise they would all be drivin...

I have used First American Title in Shawnee.  

A lot of family’s that come to the island want the typical “American” Home. 4 bed/3bath 2 car garage with a dishwasher.

kind of really depends on what you do for a living and your goals.I  know in my business world  NET worth is quite important for getting construction loans.. banks no like leverage to the eye balls. because they will discount rent then run your ability to borrow.. they love big equities or paid for properties.. but then again I am not in the rental side of things.. and we look for very large unsecured bank LOC's that allow us to operate the way we do.. and if I did not have substantial net equity or net worth I could never get those lines.. and more in like what you guys in the tax sale wholesaling end of it.. you make as much money on one wholesale or flip deal than a rental will make in 5 years tying up that capacity to borrow.But for average American I am going to retire on rentals.. and they have stellar credit and can get their 10 loans and don't buy in the hood  then max leverage is the way to go to scale.. but the folks that I know that are pretty comfortable later in life have most if not all their rentals or real estate paid for.. and that's my goal.  

So like many other Americans he was simply living pay check to pay check.

@Jared G.I'd focus less on what you absolutely hate and focus more on acquiring the skill set to achieve the goals you set for yourself.There's very much this cheap pop psychological belief in our society that some people are introverts, and some are extroverts, and an introvert can never acquire, no matter how hard he works,  the social skills than an extrovert has.
