Providing a space that fosters growth and for a greater sense of community within my local REI market.

So now I'm calling all the QuickenLoans and Loan Depot's of country and no one will touch it because: A) Its not my primary residence B) I haven't owned it for a year C) The private lender isn't reporting the monthly payments to a credit bureau so I don't have a verifiable proof of payment D) Been doing AirBnB, so no lease (if I wanted to get 2nd home or rental property financing)Solutions I'm aware of: 1) Most loan officers have suggested I call a local credit union, which I have done> The credit unions are concerned because it's not my primary and I don't have  lease in place with proof of payments via bank statements.

How can I become aware of these areas?

@Thaddeus Duffy I wasn't aware of any myself, but it's the lowest priced 'burb that I'm aware of, unless he's going further out like Perry or Warsaw...Also def agree with the remote management aspect!

This is something that I have grown increasingly aware of and believe in; that there will always be unknowns for your first deal, there will always be reasons why you "shouldn't yet", and I just feel as though I've almost gotten myself to a tipping point of just pulling the trigger (obviously once I've run the numbers and believe I've found a good deal).

Hi there, my name is Nathan and a wonderful Irish fellow named Brendan introduced this website to my partner and I.He spoke very highly of this community online and I believe has done very well in his investments.I have one question and perhaps you can guide me.

Shoot, one of them (w/almost 200K student loan debt (undergrad and grad)) was even able to get a down payment assistance grant from a local community lender (She is an attorney for a local government agency).

Hello BiggerPockets community.

And you should jump in, the community is pretty great here.

I actually stumbled onto the podcast before the forums, and am lucky to have found such a great community and resource!
