Quote from @Maurice Nkonsissie: HelloMy name is Maurice, I live in the greater DMV area.

Many DSCR programs require an investor to have a mortgage history- there are some DSCR mortgage programs that will work with investors who are renting- some refer to them as first time home buyers (FTHBs)- DSCR loans are only for investment properties where the owner isn't living there. 

Oh I agree with you if that rent will be a business income to live on vs just an unrealized gain.

I'm in the greater Boston area and I wasn't able to fully live for free but I was spending about $700 on my unit.

My mom lives in a nice house that she has paid off.

Hey all,I have been listening to Bigger Pockets content for maybe 4 years and finally have removed myself from some side hustles, have the capital, and grew the...brains to start real estate investing.QUICK BIO:I am b...

I live a few hours south of Peoria in St.

I was forced to buy my first house because my roommate moved out and I couldn't afford to live alone.

We all invest in real estate in order to make money, and keep in mind that someone who can only afford to live in a mobile home and seller-finance to buy the land is probably tight on funds.
