That trip looks amazing man. I did the opposite 2 years ago and spent all my money traveling through SEA/East Asia, THEN got into residential sales. I dont regret it one bit. Its good to see another like minded individual branch out from the business grind and take extended vacations. Keep on keepin on!

Thanks for the advice everyone. It's been a big lift getting some different opinions and ideas on how to get into some more creative financing.

Hey gang! My name is Kevin and I have recently returned to Minnesota after teaching English in South Korea for 2 years. I am also nearly finished with completing course III of my MN real estate licensure coursework (wish me luck for the exam)! Since making the career switch to real estate salesperson I have been looking for a duplex/multiplex to purchase and live in. The only catch is, with a commission based job, and no income reported on a standard 1040 return for 2 years, it is very difficult to attain conventional financing. I am currently in search of land contracts in my area, but was wondering if anyone has had an issue with this situation in the past? If so, what solutions helped you get out of this jam, and if this hasn't happened to you, what do you think would be the best action for attaining a multiplex homeownership? 

Anyways, much love to everyone on here and I'm excited to make some long lasting connections with folks on BiggerPockets!

All the Best,

Kevin
