Can't even believe a resource like BP exists - there is so much valuable information here and such a supportive community. 

What I would suggest is if you're going to give advice please make sure you do so expressing the situation and the qualifications that support the statement. 

Unfortunately I could not attach the document because it's not supported by pdf but I can e-mail you the flyer as well.Best of luck to everybody in all of your endeavors.

@Marcus Durant,The CMAs will help you determine what the market will support.

For Example, my W2 job nets our family around 62k a year, but the bank still took into account the child support I receive, and that doesn't show up on a tax return. 

Thanks everyone for the positivity and the support.  

Credit scores would support what I'm looking for without additional co-signer,, one thing you need to consider is that if you permit co-signers it sets a precedent. and Fair housing could be made a thing unless you only require co-signers for students,, but they are graduating so no longer students.. so wouldn't qualify as eligible for co-signer..I don't believe in co-signers I rather have extra on deposit. 

If your value is still supported then figure out where your numbers work and make an offer there.

With a heavy-handed new law that is the first of its kind in the nation, Seattle has set its regulatory crosshairs on landlords, attempting to police their inner thoughts and eliminate the possibility that their decisions could be motivated by "implicit" or unintended bias.Known as the "first in time" rule, the mandate forces landlords to rent to the first qualified applicant, rather than choosing the best fit from among prospective tenants.Sponsors contended that this unprecedented restriction is needed because traditional anti-discrimination laws do not protect against unconscious prejudices.

Hello BP,I have posted on the forums before with a great influx of support along with motivation, and these are two things that I am looking for as I am looking to buy my first property!
