Hello everyone I am 24 fully employed and working side gigs but interested and currently looking to acquire my first rental home.

In this case, you would be saving ~20% of revenue for a Property Management company and simply paying your onsite helper by the hour when their assistance is needed.In regards to your question, you might not need a long credit/employment history and don't let that hold you back. 

Hey Jordan,A lot of this is stuff you want to pave the way for before it ever happens since it can get really messy if a partner decides to drop out down the road.

@Hans Kautz As I am currently in my first two years self employed I basically am not touchable from a conventional lending standpoint.

I am still active in residential and am the "go to" guy for the residential projects my employer takes on.

Lessons learned: we now buy in places with diversified employment and a growing population.  

I am self employed so I show a lot of expense so in turn my income on my taxes are lower then what I actually make.

If I were the buyer, and you hesitated to provide the due diligence documents, I would walk away.It is no different than a bank requesting W2's, employment verification, tax returns,  etc, during the loan process.

@Justin PineiroHello Justin,I have linked an IRS website that provides good information for self-employed individuals.

Especially if you are self-employed, research all the requirements yourself and make sure you cover all your bases.
