.   :-) Thanks again for your wonderful write-up and much luck on the rest of your investing journey.

However, I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that your local REIA has them.

I love to travel and want to be able to do it more often without the tie down of a day to day job, not only for myself but also for my future family.Currently on my journey I am starting to dip my hands into gaining as much knowledge as possible, starting my relationship journey by attempting to build my key team, and preparing a plan that will weather storms.I am a veteran and want to start my journey house hacking and using 0 down VA on a multi-family rental, to eventually move on to more multi-families.I currently live in the North New Jersey area, so if you are around, want to chat, have some ideas, need some ideas (I can be creative at times) let me know!

Your best bet is to probably google this to find out what it means...We tell him this will not be accepted, only his name can be on these documents.

I bet she had something to do with it. :)

Thats your best bet to finding something that will work numbers wise. 

@Tom GillottiThanks it's going to be a great journey looking forward to seeing what this year brings!

Also, what other tips and tricks would you guys suggest as I embark on this journey?

That is an awesome journey you are embarking on.

I bet cash basis income, IE no W2, and barely reports so his 1040 income would not meet 3x rent.....
