Sawyer From New York!
Good-morning Folks,
Hope everyone is having a great Friday today. I am new to the Real Estate Industry, but am planning to dive into Real Estate Investing. If anyone has any advice on how one should start with roughly a $5,000.00 down payment I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Sawyer

New York is such a costly state. Depends on what your investing strategy is going to be. Do you have an idea of what type of strategy you want to use? Are you planning on buying and holding property (landlording/renting)? Do you want to flip houses? Haha, Depends on what you want to do in real estate before someone can start to suggest what you do with your down payment funds.
