Because I am a teacher and don't get paid over the summer, I would need to identify the replacement property while the relinquish property is in the process of closing, rather than waiting until after it closes, so that I can continue to provide proof of income to the loan officer to secure a mortgage on the replacement property.

It has been an insurance office, floral shop and financial office.

I'm currently pouring everything I've got into fixing up a new office space, but once it's done then I'll invest only out-of-area.David Greene has a great book that explains the whole process.

Ideally, this would be a garage apartment with some office space below and approximately 600 to 700 sf unit for STR purposes above.

No wonder the loan officer told me it’s overwhelmingly popular product and always here it amongst investor! 

So I'm a loan officer and the only other thing I could think of is to lower your debt or have a partner go in on the deal with you.

I sent you a private message with some more detail on W-2, but my current primary residence is ~90 miles from my office.

I spoke with a loan officer and am in the process of being preapproved for a loan, but I have some concerns to resolve before moving forward in the process...

Repainted the entire house ourselves, enclosed one room with French doors to make a 5th BR or office, changed all the ceiling fans, door knobs to brushed nickel, added an above stove microwave.

How are my fellow loan officers/mortgage brokers sourcing deals and leads right now ?
