Looking for advice about Investors

[Curtis Chambers]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Curtis,

I have to say i really enjoy BiggerPockets and these forums are great.

I have also started reading Millionaire Real Estate by Keller. Very good book.

Here is what I know. I want to invest in a property (i like to live in and rent the other units or rooms out) but, have no money saved for entry (down payment and ***. cost). 

I could move home save 6-8 grand in a year. Attempt to buy in years time. 

But, there are many factors. The market is so strong in Phoenix that in a year the price increase may mean I buying less home. And 6 grand may not be enough.

So, My other option is to find clever financing. Hard lending or lease to own sound like cool options but, I don't know how to go about looking for them. 

And ideas were to start?
