Money. It’s the first BIG hurdle every rookie faces when buying a rental property. Can’t put 20% down? Maybe you don’t need to!
Welcome to another Rookie Reply! We’re back with three new questions from the BiggerPockets Forums, and first, we hear from someone who’s looking to scrounge up the funds for their first real estate investment. If you have the right deal, you could bring very little, and in some cases, no money, to the table. But it’ll probably require some legwork!
Next, if you’re looking for off-market properties, you’ll want a reliable wholesaler who can deliver a steady stream of quality deals. Stay tuned as we show you how to not only find them but also become part of their inner circle.
We also tackle a question many rookies have: Should you line up your financing before or after you’ve found a deal? One approach gives you a clear edge when it comes to narrowing your buy box, making offers, and negotiating with sellers!
