Hi,

I’m 20 years old and wanted to start investing as soon as I can. I’m new to everything when it comes to buying a property. I want to know step by step on how to find an investment property and how to get it under contract with subject to existing finance?

Could I go through a real estate agent?

Thank you I’m Advance

Yes, you can go through a RE agent.

Learn to analyze the numbers first. You need to know the Rental Property Cash Flow Analysis. It will tell you income, operating expenses loan information and metrics (DSCR, LTV, LTC, 1% rule, 70% rule, 50% rule Cash flow and ROI)
