Depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals, exploring short-term Treasury Bonds, high-yield savings accounts, or diversified alternative assets like private lending or REITs could also be worth considering.

Case Study: A Successful Joint Venture in Real Estate - An investor identifies a distressed property with high potential but lacks the funds to purchase and renovate it. - The investor partners with a private lender who provides the capital.

A debt service loan would be a good option if your DTI is high, you want to close in an LLC, you're self-employed or have low income on paper, or you don't have a stable 2-year work history.

Quote from @Owen Wang: I am 17 years old and will graduate high school next year.

Nonetheless, I highly recommend just sucking it up and moving into a property with a VA loan.

One of my applicants showed up with little credit but no defaults, no evictions, and only traffic violations and verified income high enough to cover well over 3 times the rent and I accepted the tenant despite there being some signs.He paid the rent in time for the most part until a few weeks ago when he stopped and I could not get ahold of him.

The 'buy in' costs are high, no doubt.

You lose because there are many other suckers out there falling for the same line and sharing the same low-quality leads that don't translate into sales.Do the math.

Tenant buyers that put a high option fee have almost always exercised the option and purchased the property. someone puts 50k towards the option I suspect that has a high potential to convert.. someone that does 10k much less..
