[Jennifer M Davis]

ROAD MAP TO YOUR FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT! 🏡💰
1. Understand Your Financing Options
Traditional Bank Loans: Requires good credit and a solid down payment (usually 25%).
Hard Money Loans: Short-term, higher interest rates, but easier to qualify for.
Private Money Loans: Funding from friends, family, or private investors.
FHA Loans: Low down payment options if you plan to live in the property.
Seller Financing: The seller acts as the lender, offering flexible terms.
2. Prepare Your Financials
Credit Score: Aim for 650+ for better loan options.
Down Payment: Save 20% for traditional loans or explore alternatives with lower down payments.
Debt-to-Income Ratio: Keep your ratio under 43% to increase your chances of approval.
Income Proof: Have recent pay stubs and tax returns ready.
3. Create a Solid Investment Plan
Property Type & Location: Choose a property in a promising location.
Market Research: Show the lender that the market is strong and that rental demand or appreciation is likely.
ROI Estimates: Be clear about how you'll make money from the property—whether through rental income or resale.
Exit Strategy: Know how you plan to repay the loan, whether through selling, refinancing, or renting.
