Looking to house hack a property in Oakland to Hayward area

Tomas Nuno
Posted

Hey all, I am a new investor looking to house hack a property in the Oakland/San Leandro. I have reached out to a couple real estate agents so far but if you know an agent/lender that is familiar with house hacking that would be greatly appreciated. 

I have run into some early obstacles with the lenders I have talked with so far because my job is not a W2 job. I play professional basketball out of the country and don't receive pay stubs or any tax documents. I am determined to start investing now and am looking for creative ways for financing while still using the FHA loan and taking advantage of the low down payment. Would love to connect with anybody that may have some insight or seen a situation like mine.

Thank you in advance for reading my post and I look forward to hearing from you all.

@Tomas Nuno oh man. That's a tough one. Not showing income is going to make it tough to qualify for a loan. You are going to have to convince someone to team up with you and co-sign for you.
