Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

I teach Mon, Weds, and Fri mornings at 6:30 until about 8am at a Jiu Jitsu academy in The Colony, which I'm also an equity partner in.

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

In reality, it’s pretty rare to find a DSCR loan going up to 95% LTV.

If you use a DSCR loan you could maximize the equity you could take out while still breaking even on the mortgage + taxes + insurance.

FHA LoansIf your down payment savings and your credit score aren’t where you want them to be, an FHA loan could be your pathway to buying a home.

You need income to qualify for loans, you can learn how to manage rentals well (something most landlords never do), you will figure out which communities/properties make the best investments, can earn an above-average paycheck, and may even find some investment properties before they hit the market.

Start by getting pre-approved for a loan, ensuring your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and finances meet lender requirements.
