My initial price range for this purchase is between $120k to $150k, the market is very competitive in Omaha for this price range but I am confident I will find a deal with persistence.

Debt to income ratio with traditional loan financing big factor?
13 May 2020 | 7 replies
Some help if you have...So I decided to take the conventional route and managed to save up a 20% down payment on the 150k-250k range of multifamily properties(2-3 unit preferably).The savings actually comes from the work I’m currently doing to help with the covid efforts or else it would take me about another year to save up this money again due to the good debt I have right now(5% interest on student loans).To get specific I’m looking at a 35-40% debt to income ratio right now solely from my student loans unfortunately.

If you do not want, or can not use your VA loan and are still planning on living in it, think about using an FHA loan with a smaller down payment in the 3.5%-5% range.

Would you offer a low ball offer?
18 May 2020 | 5 replies
This means that sellers with homes that are priced in the correct range don't have to accept low-ball offers, the market will provide a buyer willing to pay in that price range.On the other hand, if a home is significantly overpriced then the correct offer is a 'low-ball offer', meaning an offer closer to actual market value.
