At the moment, my primary real estate goal is  to wholesale and buy/hold rental properties.

Be upfront about what you're trying to accomplish and make sure they know you're trying to establish a long-term lending relationship with a bank that can help you meet your goals over the long term.Good luck.

I'm really looking forward to getting started as soon as possible but I've set a goal for owning my first investment property by the end of 2019. 

But everyone has differnt goals so to one person a 6 cap might look good because they're doing a value-add and want to increase IRR to 30% in a couple years and throw a couple hundred k at it. 

This seems very overpriced imo, however, if you want large tax losses to offset any other gains from other stuff then it could be a great deal if you think their could be appreciation.It's all about your internal and external goals and what you want to achieve, but on a purely numbers basis I would pass.

@William Huston, I believe you are the only one that can answer this question that relates to your goals/plans.

@Joseph Michael The goal of the FHA loan was for owner occupants, but i'm not sure since your wife is living there if that alone would qualify you.

@Michael J Ralph at the end of the day it's whether you want to manage the property yourself or not, and if the returns meet your goals.

lol) and my goal is to close 5 deals in 2019 (doable).
