How does everyone feel about using gap funding as a buy and hold investor?

[Mohammed Milord]

I am thinking about using gap funding for the down payment on my first rental property as a buy-and-hold investor. I don't have any money saved up but don't want that to hold me back from getting started in real estate investing. I want to ideally find an off-market single-family property as my first deal using g this strategy. Would that negatively impact my ROI? I'm not interested in seller financing as an alternative because I'm an introvert and not very good at sales. Is this a wise move? Is this strategy even possible???
