I started my LLC in the summer and still working through some kinks getting website started for marketing.

Typically starting with a smaller rehab budget of $50K or less (maybe a max of $75K) and avoiding a 1 to 1(or higher) ratio of purchase to rehab costs is recommend when you are first starting out. 

My name is Jenna and my husband and I are just starting to dip our toes into the real estate world!

The seller offered financing with 20% down, which I used to buy the place.After starting construction and realizing it was going to cost more than expected, I approached a small local bank that knew the property and would offer the rehab financing.

Look at what other complexes are charging and you should get a good feel of where to start off

Hope this helps you get started, and good luck with your first property! 

I am also a local Realtor for an amazing investor focused realty team that helps our investors from start to finish and beyond with their investment properties.

We are looking into the possibility of starting out OOS investing in Indianapolis.

Lease options, and there are a variety of types of lease options, can be a good starting strategy for many aspiring investors.
