Absolutely! And when you put 3.5% down it's super easy to get AMAZING returns on your initial investment. : )

@Erik Naylor

Hey Erik,

Welcome to BP! It's a great community here. You will gain a TON of knowledge and who knows - maybe you'll even find a partner or two.

Knowing that there is a resource available to me that offers advice on pretty much any REI question has been a huge benefit to me and my business.

Investing in multifamily properties by using as little of my own money as possible is my game. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in your journey!

The best way to jump into buy and hold ownership is to target an owner occupied multi family home with an FHA loan - which means only 3.5% down payment. Send me a message if you want more details. : )

Hi @Account Closed

It's all gonna come down to your end goals. Yes, loan programs like FHA with just 3.5% down payment are more risky... So you do have to pay higher fees.

But if your plan is to take your additional cash and invest in other properties... You likely would be ahead of the game to pay a bit more on your first property to be able to multiply the benefits of rental real estate by purchasing another...

Just my 2 cents...
