Iam New to BP and realestate
Hey guys, Iam new to real estate investing and BP. I made the choice to focus on leaving a legacy for my kids and grand kids. Iam leaning towards buying multiple properties and renting them out in my home state of New Jersey.
I havent bought a property yet but I am thinking about taking out a home equity loan to put down as a down payment for my first deal, however my mortgage company said they do not do that. They told me if I wanted to take equity out I would have to refinance, is this normal? I do not have the financial backing to lay out $5-$10k on a down payment, any insight anyone could give me would be great.
