So I'm new to the whole real estate investing gig and I want RE agents that I work with to take me seriously. I don't have any funds available though. I became a mom and my household is on one income now.

Should I stick with my guns and tell the agents that I'm strictly looking for sellers who are willing to owner finance, find some debt/equity partners, or find a good deal where the numbers work?

Also, with a debt partner, how exactly does that work? Do they generally want a monthly check or what? I know this topic is spanning like 5 forum topics but oh well. Thank you in advance for any help given. It's GREATLY appreciated.

Not exactally knowing a lot about the market in a particular area, I'm looking at the property records. Should I pay more attention to the price that was paid for the property X number of years ago or the appraised/assessed value?

I was just wondering what the difference was between appraised values and assessed values on a property. I'm looking at a certain property on the assessor's website and I just want to make sure that what the seller is asking for isn't too much. Thanks for any help on the matter :D

I'm located in the smaller-than-the-head-of-a-pin town of Austin, AR which is just outside of Cabot, AR

Hello all! My name is Kim and I'm new to the game they call investing:) My main focus right now is buy and hold. I'm really looking for any creative financing opportunities that anyone may know of other than seller financing/carry back (I'm knowledgeable about this topic). I'm also looking for debt/equity financing partners. I have all the other resources (knowledge, time, connections) other than money. I look forward to reading all the insightful info everyone is posting :D
