Where to turn with lack of downpayment to get started.

[Nick Versetto]

Friday off let me I troduce myself and say hello.  I'm new to the board and from a sw suburb of Chicago.  My wife and I recently built a new home and were fortunate to rent our first home and keep it.  I've always loved real estate and saw my grandfather provide for his family with it. Well now it's my turn!

What's my best steps to find downpayment funds or a partner?  My goal is to have 10 properties by the time I'm 40 and I'm currently 32.  

Tia and look forward to some of the people I'm going to meet here.
