Also, it's my first year doing seasonal work (although it's related to my previous work) so I don't have 2 years of history to prove that the unemployment's normal and that I'll be working again in the spring.

Many of history's "geniuses" - both evil and benevolent - were very much like us. 

I found Bigger Pockets when I was searching for a new RE podcast and the rest is history...My goal is to continue to build my real estate business, and partnering with great people! 

After I launched a year-long tongue-in-cheek campaign to be the first three-peater in BP history, @Brandon Turner couldn't settle the battle and thus the three of us get to share the honor.  

You'll have the peace of mind knowing a 2nd set of eyes has searched for any issues much like you'd pay an inspector for peace of mind of the history of the building even though they don't actually fix any of those problems.  

Hi all,I'm looking for an investor-friendly agent to help me buy my first rental property (small MF 2-4 units) in Greater Boston / Eastern MA (flexible location).

It's my first year with a seasonal job so I don't have a history of it...

A week ago, I just applied for a car loan on the rest of the money I owe on my car ($2200) and while if I wanted to, I could pay it off now but figured it would be a much better idea to get a loan and to add an additional credit history.

Plus I use mysmartmove.com for tenant screening (which the applicant pays for as an application fee) which screens for credit, criminal and rental history.  

As long as your DTI and payment history/credit score are good - you should be, too!
