Even though I'm making more money than I've ever made in my life and my credit score is excellent - I don't qualify until I have 2 years of self employment income to show for it. 

I help and show people how to create streams of income so they can start building a retirement real estate portfolio.

Other option is a lease option which you would need toPut the $100k down as non refundable and pay a good amount of income as rent to the seller to try and get to 25% equity so you could get conventional financing 

Look at the demographics of population, specifically age groups, incomes, etc.4.

I have a good friend who is interested in renting it for cheap anyway so at least we'll get some income from it. 

All non resident aliens must file and pay state and federal taxes on business income.

I know they say that your income is the average of your 5 closest friends.

The rate which you finance the loan is based on your credit and a host of other things they look at debt/income ratios etc.

My goal is to buy and hold (rent the property for income).I’d like to get feedback from experience investors.

My goal is to replace my income within ten years from the cash flow from the rental properties I'll be buying.
