Of course there are always exceptions.

There are exceptions to this, mostly in super-high value areas where there's a ceiling on rents (i.e. it nowhere near meets the "1% rule") or in an area that has rapid appreciation but rents haven't moved, but beyond that a property that can't pay for itself when you leave 20% behind is a risky proposition.

@Sean Blomquist at Pine Financial has a lot of lending options and they will do 90% depending on the circumstances. 

I have never had to make a claim, although there have been circumstances where an unoccupied house burning down would have been welcome news.

Both jobs will require me to have exceptional communication skills and a network of clients.
