@Taylor L. Thank you, do you happen to know of any that you would recommend?

BiggerPockets Community - I have a situation I need some advice on.

So I currently own a condo which I purchased with conventional financing and I am looking to purchase my first investment property in the Washington, DC area.

Since I am focusing on the Buy and Hold method, I thought utilizing the BRRRR method would be my best option which would have me focusing on cash purchases. However, even though I have some savings put aside, I don't know if I would have enough to buy homes in the SouthEast DC area all cash.

Can anyone recommend additional financing options outside of conventional that could help in purchasing properties without putting 20% - 25% down upfront in order to save money for rehab costs?

Thank you

@Bryden Rosenburgh Thank you for your suggestion. I apologize for being so slow to reply, but I hope you have been enjoying the holiday season.

Hello Bigger Pockets community. This is my first time posting to the forum and I am just beaming with excitement and questions for rookie investors such as myself to the pro veteran investors. I have been listening to the podcasts and reading RE books from the BRRRR method to No and Low Money down for the last few weeks and I'm amazed on how BiggerPodcasts has had such an impact on the world of investment.

I have been focusing my property search in Washington DC specifically the SouthEast region to start since I currently reside in Alexandria, VA. I have built up some savings, have been analyzing deals, using various calculators, brought together my Core Four but have not managed to pull the trigger yet.

I am taking my time before I decide to choose a property, but very eager to jump into my first investment.

If there are any local investors in the DC/Virginia area, I would love to pick your brain and get some firsthand knowledge from active investors who can find cheap deals and go after those properties in one of the most expensive areas in the nation.

Any advice is most appreciated. Looking forward to becoming apart of this community.
