Be patient: When it comes to investing, there are a lot of other factors you have to put into play as opposed to finding a place that just fits your personal needs.

No sir, it was not a individual who has made loans before it would be her first time. i decided against it. i have some wholesale deals i am about to close on and make 70k so im just going to use my money. i wasnt prepared enough, I am going to do some more research and work on my business credit and personal credit an just be patient.

Good advice above, focus on safety, cleanliness, and being an attentive smaller landlord. 

Hi BP Community,As part of mine and my wife's investment strategy, I gave up my W2 safety net to launch my own architectural firm.

This should be a sign to many of us to be patient and not rush into this market.

Really not much differance between 0 and 3.5% down from a safety standpoint.

Thanks in advance You're going to need a very patient agent who has experience.

For example, if the landlord has determined that the tenant’s service dog poses a health or safety risk to others, they may properly deny accommodation if the risks can’t be mitigated.

You want to do this once per year to demonstrate your continued concern of the safety of the guests while your property. 

We don’t earn a lot of money from our W2 so we’ve been patient and want to do this right to keep the ball rolling.
