Your price range will be $300,000 or less with $60k but you should be focused on choosing a property in a quality area and the returns you can get from renting it out.

I'm at Premiere Property Group and they have excellent training and mentorship. 

Once upon a time appraisers made a decent income relative to living expenses and would do this sort of thorough research, but appraisal fees haven't been tracking with increased costs of living for some time, so it's currently a volume game for appraisers, not really a quality game.

Excellent.

It will take at least a few months.I also use 2 notebooks for my appointments and an excel workbook with 4 sheets for my mailing lists and un-qualified.

I know 3 X times monthly income is needed to rent a place , between my pension and 457 b withdrawals , I will meet income requirements, credit scores are good for both, credit card is high but I am managing it with no problem, tenant record is excellent (never late on rent payment on my life), after this brief summary, these are my questions/concerns:-How landlord/rental property feel about this situation when there is no W-2 income to present?

I am simply wondering if anyone out there has their own excel template how they track their personal financial statement and if you'd care to share. 

I imagine it relates to the quality of the area but on what metrics?

That way when people come through they can see the quality of work that has been done and actually picture themselves living there. 

@David McCauley I work for a brokerage that is excellent for noobs—in fact that was what I was, and I closed the year out with over $7 million in sales with 10 months to do it.
