Post: Good Credit, Stable income, and limited cash!

Hello guys. I plan on being not only a regular but also an active member. The more I learn the more I can contribute right?

So my situation I have done Sales since I was 17 working full time. I have decent credit 720+ my debt to income is great. I have no credit card debt, no car loans, no student loans, and everything I own is free and clear.

Being a newlywed I have very limited funds to come up with a down payment on an investment loan. I have considered trying to find a 1-4 unit property and going the FHA route however I have a lease at my current apartment complex till October. I have 2 motorcycles I'm attempting to sell to free up capital but we'll see how that goes.

A friend of mine has done real estate investment for several years and has been giving me all kinds of pointers. He uses bandit signs to try and find whole sale deals, rentals, ect.

As a first property is it in my best interest to try and track down a subject to, or owner financed type of a property?

The problem with alot of those potential sales is the area they are in. I'm aware that looking to spend a lower sum is going to result in riskier locations, lower rents, but possibly more ROI.

Hello my name is Ryan and I hope that you are all doing well. I am brand new to the real estate game and looking to dive in. I am young and hoping that will be to my advantage. I have been reading around this site as well as several blogs written by one of the other contributors here. I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and a mentor/investor suggested Nothing Down for the 2000's.

I'm in kind of a strange middle ground. Being young I work full time and am married. We don't have a ton of money. I do have decent credit. However to our advantage we have no credit card debt, student loans, or car loans. My wife actually graduates undergraduate school this next week debt free!

I'm trying to learn as much as possible but I also want to get going as son as possible. I think analysis paralysis is what I want to avoid.

I'm open to any suggestions, tips, or recommendations.
