Creative financing tips?

[Joel Calkins]

I'm only 18 and have virtually no access to a loan nor can I afford the interest of a hard money lender. What did you use to gather capital to close a deal?

[Hunter Vigneault]

It is advice you will find in a lot of posts (because I think it's good advice) - find a small multifamily (or a large single family) and househack it. It is how I started - buying the cheapest house on the market at the time and using a 203k to rehab it and then rent out the other unit. If done right - or close to right - the savings on your living expenses and the mortgage paydown will put you on a good path and provide the landlord and handyman experience you will need.
