How did you manage to finance your first rental property?

[Juan Alvarez]

I am still educating myself on real estate. I am wanting to finance my first home next year. I am planning on spending the next 5 months educating myself. No one in my family has invested in real estate so there is not much I can ask them. My question is, how did you guys manage to finance your property? I graduated from college last year so i currently don’t have enough for a down payment or rehab cost. Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@Juan Alvarez A lot of different ways to do it. You could buy a 4 plex with 3.5% down, rent three units and live in the other with an FHA loan. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I wish this is how I would have started......
