Looking to start investing with little money

[Adam Campbell]

Hey guys! I'm new to the community and was wondering on what the best way was to finance my first home purchase was. I've talked to a friend who is taking out a heloc and paying for the down payment that way, taking out a mortgage with a hard money lender, and then turning around and refinancing at a lower rate. I was also looking into FHA loans that would require a lower down payment. What are your opinions on those to options? And are there other options for someone who is looking to invest with little money?
