While I’d love to invest locally, most properties here are beyond my price range.Right now, I’m compiling a list of potential properties, underwriting deals, and reaching out to Realtors.

Find the money and find the deals.

-What are some ways to fund my first investment deal?

Until I am considering building cash flow with launch an ATM business then using that cash flow to invest into BRRRR deals and then BTR deals.About the ATM business, I can't help but think that this would be a good way to build cash flow and capital for my first investments in real estate.

That is the only way I have seen most deals work these days.

I can imagine having a broker license adds another layer of responsibility to making sure deals are solid. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Then you can just go to the chat, and analyze the deal, it can even pull CMA and rental estimates, count in the repairs and get you cash-on-cash or cap rate or whatever metrics you need.

A strong deal presentation will help attract serious partners for this and future investments!

If you have a builder, why not just engage them and get a loan vs. having to deal with a JV partner?
