Hello Jody,Thank you for reaching out, as I have mentioned in a couple other posts, I’m still active duty military, and will be retiring in October of this year.

I will look into rentredi - any pros/cons, or is there a thread you already posted on that you recommend I read?

Your best bet is find a lending broker you trust and like working with and they will almost always have a loan product to help you fund!

If you have to, interview a couple until you find one that you "click" with. 2) Let that agent connect you with their network of investor-friendly lenders. 3) Meet with these lenders, have them talk over your finances with you and what loan products you would qualify for at the moment based on your income and assets. 4) Let the outcome of that conversation (#3) dictate your strategy moving forward and take your findings back to the realtor so you can craft a plan. 

I've been absorbing everything I can from posts, podcasts, and books to prepare me for the plunge.

@Nicholas Betancourt welcome to the forums and congrats on the first post!

Similar to what I posted previously.
