My first property?
I'm having a hard time deciding which financing option I should pursue for my first property. My plan for the first property is to buy something inhabitable that could be rehabbed and/or updated. It would be my place of residence until it was completed and then either sold if profitable or used as (if everything goes well) a cash-flow source. I have a background in remodeling/rehab work and will be doing pretty much everything myself in the free-time outside of my 9-5 and saturday bartending gig. While I have done extensive remodeling work, I pretty much have no professional RE contacts or people in my life who understand the process, could help, etc. As a 32 yr old finally pursuing my real estate dreams, I'm wondering which financing option would be EASIEST for someone in my position. Thanks in advance for any input!
