You can generate your savings until you're of legal age and in the interim build your investing skills.

I’ll start with an introduction, my name is Tyler, 29yrs old, live in central Florida, I’m a self employed home remodeler, specializing is kitchen and bathrooms, been in construction for 13 years, and self employee for 3.

The NFIP will now employ this same technology.

I've only been self employed for 1 year and he was able to get me qualified which was amazing after going through 8 different loan officers.

@Jesse FentonI have started a lead generation company but need to reach out.

Hey @Tyrel Holman,Yes, when it comes to banks, it's going to be hard to get pre-approved without full-time employment/w-2 .

Everyone else on your team will be transaction-based and not really involved after a purchase.We're in the Metro Detroit area, so you may want to follow our blog here on BP, but at least read the following posts:Follow our "Deep Dive" series we're doing about Metro Detroit cities and City of Detroit Neighborhoods: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...How to “Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesIn our experience you will need to:1) Learn to "Maintain to the Neighborhood", not your personal standards2) Tenant-Proof everything you can Hard surface flooring, not carpeting (too easy to trash) Same basic paint for everything No garbage disposals for them to break Only spring-type doorstops also with plate on the wall Glue rubber mats under sinks to prevent water damage Sheet aluminum on walls around stovetops, for easy grease removal Towel racks - screw 1x3 to wall studs, then screw rack to that Install low-profile downspout ext, not aluminum that always disappear Plan on cleaning gutters and leaves up in the fall as tenants won't Avoid garage door openers3) Have a great application screening process: Check credit for evictions & convictions, utility collections Focus on employment/income stability Require bank or debit card statement - you'll be surprised what they spend their money on!

Since I am employed full-time and have family activities, I am planning to price a property management company into my calculations from the start.I look forward to engaging and learning from you BP members!

However, when that finally happens, I still will not have had stable employment for 2 years.

That should give you an idea of how many rentals there are.Is there employment in various sectors?
