I'm a real estate blogger & make a good income, have okay credit but not high enough scores to get a loan to purchase. 

To keep things very simple, I’m assuming the following: Structure: SFRAsking price: $111,111Desired COCR: 10%Gross Rent: $1,000/monthFinancing terms– preferred is 70% LTV over 15 yearsIn the example below (btw...I'm using a modified version of @Brandon Turner 's 4-Square concept), I plugged in getting the property at a 10% discount and the preferred terms and can only achieve $55/month in cash flow with 2.05% COCR.If I plug in terms of 80% LYV over 30 years I can get a lot closer.If I plug in my preferred terms, and calculate my best offer, I can only pay $75,408 which is 67% of the asking price.

I have a little bit of equity in my primary residence that I'm having difficulty finding a lender to help me get out due to my FICO score being under 700 for a HELOC.

Shopping for an investment loan.I have a property recently appraised at 134K.My purchase price is 90K.Will rent for 1,250/monthMy current credit score is 791 with TransUnion and 807 with Equifax.

I just listened to podcast 237 and I am the female version of the host, Ian Reeves (plus a husband and two-year old). 

@Tony LinYour 401k with your current employer is likely not able to be moved until you either leave that job or reach age 59 1/2 while still working there.The old 401(k) can be moved to an IRA/401k of your choosing, including a self-directed version of such a plan.The Solo 401(k) has nice benefits for those who qualify.  

I'm 20 and have a 700 credit score after having over one million in medical bills at age 18; thousands went into collections.

@Tyler Goulden600 credit score is required and you can use potential rental income to qualify.....

@Luis Rondon  Some Important things the lenders will be considering are your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and eventually how comfortable they feel with doing business with you (based on your goals/professionalism/knowledge, and the deals you're doing).

If you have marketing overhead and you have more work than you can operationally manage, then you're wasting your marketing spend or possibly worse bringing on more business than you can handle which will damage your existing deals.Short version: target how much work you want to do, spend enough marketing budget to get there.
