No Money Down: How to but my first rental property
I am in the Harrisburg, PA area and I want to buy my first property with no money down. My goal is to purchase something by 9/1/19.
I have no Real Estate Background but, I just Read the Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
I own my own transport business now. I want to buy 10 properties in 5 yrs.
I am all ears so please give me your best advice.

I'll second what @Joe Chirdon said and would highly recommend you try a house hacking method via an FHA (3.5% down and up to 4 units). It's going to be difficult to pull off a no money down with no experience/track record and lack of education. Start by educating yourself on various real estate topics specially no/low money down methods (there is a BiggerPockets book on this topic) and start honing in on one specific strategy. Asking the public a vague questions with limited experience is going to get you a bunch of answers that will overwhelm you or not apply to you. Start with educating yourself so you can ask more specific 'how to' questions. Good luck in your journey!
