Hello everyone, I'm new to real estate investing so I'm hoping someone could give me some pointers. I'm 21 years old and I currently live in California. My aunt recently moved to Tennessee and she bought a house for herself as well as an income property. She told me to buy one myself so I looked into it and I've decided I want to invest in an income property. My whole life I've saved money and I have about $60,000 to invest with. I looked at houses and they are in the $80,000 to $120,000 range. My aunt said in her area, people are paying a lot for rent since there is a high demand. This is where I am not too familiar with things. I know my options are basically: pay cash, get a conventional loan, or get an FHA loan. I want to go with the option that is best for me but I'm just not sure which one that is. For what it's worth, I am currently working a 9-5 so I have pay stubs to show for, my credit is fair/good, and I owe a few hundred dollars to a credit card debt. That is about all I can think of in terms of what lenders look for. So what pointers could you give me? What steps should I take and is there any other advice that I could use? I would really appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone at Bigger Pockets, My name is Daniel and I am a new investor from Los Angeles, CA. I was recently convinced to buy a real estate investing program that I saw on Facebook. I bought it, I learned non stop and finally launched my entire "we buy houses" business. The problem is, I haven't generated a single lead like the program promised me. I started a website which I SEO'd to get it to the top of Google. Now I want to start a bandit sign campaign, which after everything will cost me about $100. I also want to do direct mailing. I got a list of NOD's from an agent that has been helping me out. The thing with direct mailing, is that in order to send to a good amount of people(500+) it will run me upwards of $500. Have any of you found success with a certain lead source? Is there any advice you could give me? I could really appreciate any help. I am desperately trying to succeed and provide for my family. Thank you

Hello everyone!

My name is Daniel and I am a real estate investor and I have recently started my company here in Los Angeles which focuses on buying discounted property and selling to cash buyers willing to make . I've learned the ins and outs of the industry from great minds including Josh Altman and Cody Sperber so I know exactly what it takes to achieve every goal I seek to accomplish. With my learned knowledge of marketing application I will be acquiring the absolute best deals throughout the LA area and finding the best discounts on properties so that buyers can put the least amount of money down so that you can get a promising return on their investments. I am looking to do business with anyone that is incredibly determined like myself. If you are interested or have any questions for me, I would love to hear back from you so I can bring you aboard my team.

Best regards,

Daniel
