I will pre-approve to help algorithms but I will reply to their question with the answer that they obviously do not want to hear.

Well this happens to be one of the approved lenders on the HUD site, and she knew I was looking at foreclosures so I'm hoping that they are familiar with HUD.

I can get as many as I want with a simply call or email...... ( I have done 100s and 100s and 100s ) Good Luck BTW, You need to have cash ready to go, NOT HM, or a pre approval from a bank , cash in the bank and ready to close the same week or it will be very difficult to get any good deals,.  

I'd like to start contacting lenders and getting pre-approved.

Your goal right now is start with first rental with a pre-approval letter from a major lender.

@Dov SchoenbrunI’m approved at a local bank for 5% down owner occupied investment property mf.

Hi All,Pre-approved by lender for 3.5 down on FHA. 

Another thing to note is if its a 3 or 4 unit, it must pass the FHA self sufficiency test, which at times, makes it harder to get loan approval.

And many clients are wary of getting pre-approved too early, but honestly it's not a notable credit ding at all.

As a new agent starting at a brokerage, how does someone get qualified for a pre-approval letter without having consecutive pay stubs if you’re trying to purchase a multi family property?
