New Detroit Investor Seeking Advice

Daja Hallums
Posted

Hello everyone! I'm Daja from Detroit, and I'm new to real estate investing. I'm eager to learn the best strategies for funding my first investment property, focusing on single-family and multi-family homes. I'm also curious about whether I should start an LLC from the beginning. Looking forward to your insights and tips as I embark on this exciting journey!

@Daja Hallums typically, investors have three choices:

1) Buy a 2-4 unit primary with 3.5% down on FHA mortgage. Rent out the other units - even rent out other bedrooms in your unit.

2) If you have 20% down, you can do a rental or DSR mortgage on a 1-4 unit property.

3) If you have no money, you can try to:
---Wholesale
---Ask family & friends to investo with you for the 20-25% down needed for a DSR loan.
