@Brie Schmidt  let us know if there are vendors there selling out of area product like is normal at these events or up selling for further education.. 

That's normally something you take into account during the planning stages.

I have read more than once are that mistakes and fear are pretty normal.  

Many options but first, talk to some bankers to see what their normal lending guidelines are for this type of deal then you have something to put numbers against.

You may get in that top 10% but build that while your working at your normal new job.

My recommendation to my clients is normally to purchase the highest limit of Liability possible. 

An overlay is a rule that a lender uses that is on top of the normal Fannie/Freddie/FHA loan rules.  

In my area there isn't any agents that specialize in this and it is normally an option that only an educated investment buyer comes up with. 

Non-refundable move-in fees are limited to only tenant screening reports, criminal background checks, credit reports, and cleaning fees.MA = we can not charge any of these fees with the exception of cleaning fees after they move out if there are actual damage and not just normal wear and tear.Total non-refundable move-in fees are limited to 10% of the first full month’s rentMA = as stated above - no additional fees can be chargedPayment Plans Required –Landlords must allow an installment plan to pay a security deposit, a pet deposit, move-in fees, and last month’s rent.

Banks will normally lend up to 40% debt to income ratio so you need someone on the income side- or that co-signer guaranteeing the income.
