Im just getting my start, have very little saved
Im just getting my start. I dont have much saved, im very ambitious to get started on owning rental properties. I have a business finance degree and studied real estate finance in college. I understand how a lot of it works but i am seeing if anyone has ideas on how i can get started. My house is already paid off and i love where i live so im not looking to “house hack” my way in, but i would like to know what are some good ways to get started I thiNK i AM MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT COULD USE SOME ADVICE ( SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS MY PHONE IS MESSInG UP).
Heres what i have already done:
STARTED REPAIRING MY CREDIT
RESEARCHED MY AREA AND WHERE THE BEST RENTS ARE
STARTED SAVING (DONT HAVE MUCH YET)
IS THERE A WAY TO GET DECENT RETURNS AND PUT LITTLE DOWN ON THE MORTGAGE I WOMT BE LIVING IM THE HOUSE SO TRADITIONAL MORTGAGES MAY NOT WORK
