Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.

I wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who have already reached out or engaged with me since I joined this group.

If you want to run few scenarios reach out. 

. $800k/annually less 38% taxes= $496,000 annually=$41k/mo.I was simply answering what it would take to yield $40k in cash flow monthly, that is all.To answer your other questions, I don't know what you're buying with $1M that produces gross $30k/mo.

Reach out to fellow investors in your area to see who they've worked with.

Anyone keen on connecting please reach out as well!

I’d simply ask in what situations where the broker and the brokers firm did nothing to facilitate the sale do you think you should get paid a commission?

Wishing you the best and feel free to reach out anytime.

Hey @Aaron Price, I think the best way you can get started in real estate is to reach out to local investor-friendly agents in your market.

I really appreciate you reaching out and offering your support.
