I used to have 20 lower income tenants and the things I have seen will probably blow your mind.They have an incredible aptitude for not accepting responsibility for their life and doing anything else to get by but actually work.

BP Nation is awesome and the amount of help people are willing to give by answering your questions is incredible!

I have very good solid income but having a hard time with banks at this time, it looks like in 7 months my credit score can improve strong enough to get a mortgage.

I will take the next year to learn as much as possible, network and make connections, improve my credit score and stash away cash for that first deal.

Explained you to improve your credit score so that you could qualify for financing.

I also have about 350k equity in my own personal house but didn't really want to go there for now and would rather use the rental properties themselves.Only thing is credit isn't stellar from some stuff that was years ago but just the same it dinged us some and I believe we're under 700 score right now.Thanks and anyone you could recommend that might be in the Corpus Christi Texas area would be great.thanks, Jerome
