I need a house in Dallas County

I need a house in Dallas County

Hello, I am new to RE investing and I have not done my first deal yet however I started because I was looking for a personal home. 

We have been stuck in a very expensive lease. It's a beautiful half million dollar home but it isn't our home. 

We own our own a 40 yr old business that pays all our expenses and without good w2 income we can't get a mortgage so we keep paying on this rental. 

Does anyone have a 4 bed 3,000 plus SF home preferably with a pool in Irving, Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill or Desoto available with a low down? 

We have credit over 750 and excellent income. I don't mind having to update a little but we have to be able to live in it.

I still plan to keep investing however we really need a home. 

Thanks in advance

@Tracy Springfield, let me search around real quick. Have you also been in contact with a lender? If not, I have a few you can call. If you are willing to go east, a lot of Forney, Heath and Heartland homes qualify for USDA loans, which means you get a loan at 0% down. Give me a call if you have questions

    @Tracy Springfield have you tried having a lender qualify you on your tax returns? Mortgage lenders use a different type of qualifying income know as "cash flow" when calculating a self employed borrowers income out and the W2 is only a part of it. The lender will need the last 2 years returns (personal and business) and an recent P/L and Balance Sheet to calculate it out correctly. You might be pleasantly surprised on what they come up with. PM me if you have more questions or want someone qualified to review.

    the problem is my accounting person is very good at showing a loss even though we pay $3500 a month in rent, we will need a couple of years to make everything look right for a lender. I just don't want to throw away $3500 a month for 2 more years. 

    I thought if someone had a house they wanted to sell perhaps we could work something out. We have never been late with rent and credit is great. 

    We can't live on the east side of Dallas because the office is in Grand Prairie and I have to stay in Dallas county for child custody reasons.

    She's looking for a seller financing situation. My mortgage broker has some rentals in those areas he's looking to turn into notes. DM me with your timeline for moving.

    Hello Tracy, you might also look for a lender who qualifies on 24 mo bank statements. Would your statements show good income? You would have to source deposits for those two years, but if it works, it would be worth that hassle!
