Investing in Real Estate in Vancouver, WA -Beginner

[Blake Ingram]

Hello! I’m currently living in Vancouver, WA. These passed few weeks I’ve been watching the “BiggerPockets Podcasts,” and reading several books. I understand the basics and really want to implement the “BURRR” strategy. Goal is to buy a Townhouse, renovate the house and rent out the other side. I know a General Contractor myself that could help with the project in the renovation. Using this as a way of paying off the mortgage. Problem being, understanding how to acquire the funds to make this happen. Would it be best to contact a local hard money lender? Possibly looking at 0% down because of being a first time home buyer? Any thoughts or suggestions? Just want to add, thank you BiggerPockets for all the insight and help you’ve given me to figure this out and build wealth at a young age. I hope to contribute a lot more in the future to all of The BiggerPockets community!
