I read in David Greene's BRRRR book, that if you have a college degree in the field you just started working, that could count as multiple years of paystubs.

The VA loan is a very powerful loan product, and it is the only product that lets you buy with as low as 0% down up to 4 units.

The native Apple products (Pages, Numbers) are very good and in some ways better. 

I enter in all the info but for some reason, the Purchase section won't get a green checkmark and I can't finish the analysis.

I must admit, I am not as familiar with the nuances of those types of loans, and the one or two people I talked to said they didn't have a loan product like that, so I moved on from the idea pretty quickly. 

I typically see a turn around play that costs around 15-20k per unit in this market, and with that money we can get a nice product that has pretty much everything done on it from the windows, roof, electrical some plumbing all the way to the kitchens and baths. 

They should also be able to refer you to a good lender for what your goals are.A great resource for this is David Greene's book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing".

@Lawrence Chen if you haven't already, I would recommend reading David Greene's book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing".

The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.
