@Bill Connolly, start making an action plan now so you are prepared for later.  You have your goal & strategy, now determine the tactics, tasks and milestones.  Arrange chronologically and set dates.  Commit to your goal and the dates you set.  You can definitely accomplish this!  BP has lots of tools and support to help you along the way.  

Good luck!

Hi @Darien Ici,

To avoid putting up that much cash out of your own pocket, you could find a partner to split profits with you in trade for them taking the down payment.  If you don’t want to do that, there are other ways to finance deals too, just look up “creative financing” here on BP.

There are Plenty of ways to accomplish that, but I'd suggest you research the BRRRR strategy if you have no/low money to put into the deal. BP has a book specifically about it, and there are plenty of discussions on the forums and blogs as well.
