@Mike Mahan I’ve talked with a couple people about how they move into the new place for a couple years for the lower down payment? If I’m correct. But yes, that would be my next ideal situation is to find deals elsewhere. But being new I’d like to see how thing pan out in Vancouver before any other locations! Thank you for the comment!

@Perry Farella Thank you for the insight! Much appreciated!

@Chace Fraser So to clarify, what I was thinking of Buying and holding. But I contradicted myself with doing a rehab as well. But yes! That’s what I would like to do, rent out the other side and have the tenant pay the mortgage payments. To where overtime, make improvements/hacks to increase the equity of the home, refinance, and then begin the real estate journey!

Hello! I’m currently living in Vancouver, WA. These passed few weeks I’ve been watching the “BiggerPockets Podcasts,” and reading several books. I understand the basics and really want to implement the “BURRR” strategy. Goal is to buy a Townhouse, renovate the house and rent out the other side. I know a General Contractor myself that could help with the project in the renovation. Using this as a way of paying off the mortgage. Problem being, understanding how to acquire the funds to make this happen. Would it be best to contact a local hard money lender? Possibly looking at 0% down because of being a first time home buyer? Any thoughts or suggestions? Just want to add, thank you BiggerPockets for all the insight and help you’ve given me to figure this out and build wealth at a young age. I hope to contribute a lot more in the future to all of The BiggerPockets community!
