I want to purchase a small property. Two to four units, and live in one while renting out the other(s). The problem is I don't have the best credit to get a loan, and I don't have any money to put down. I know it probably sounds crazy, but does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this done?

Thank you all for the advice. It seems like a big task for someone my age, and at times I feel like I don't stand a chance to break in to this market simply because people don't take me seriously because I am young. Any advice on how I can get lenders to take me more seriously as a candidate for a loan? I am a very professional individual and my mannerisms and appearance reflect that, but it doesn't seem to make a difference when it comes to being judged by my age.

I want to buy and hold rentals. I'm not really too interested in flipping properties just yet, and I don't really want to wholesale. I think rental properties would be best for me at this point. How do I find a lender?

Hello! So I am very new to the world of real estate, still in the process of getting my license, and my question is:

How do I break in to the world of investing without any money of my own? Is it even possible to do?

I am only 19 years old, but I really want to get started with my investing as soon as possible. I have been doing my fair share of research on the topic and I am confident that with continued efforts on learning the ins and outs of the field I could be successful, I just have no idea where to start without having any money of my own to put into starting it up.

Any advice on that front would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
