At the price point you qualify for, I'd be looking at a more landlord friendly state with more approachable price points.

Hey @Matt Agnew I would get a friend or someone who knows you to lend THEIR IRA money to YOUR IRA.

If not, I can put you in touch with an investor friendly agent in the area who can help. 

Landlord-friendly state, low barrier of entry in terms of price, and solid cash flow. 

Im not a realtor, but i do know of many investor friendly agents here.

The area is fairly landlord friendly.  

Quote from @Carlyn Chism: Please share lenders who are low credit score friendly and or hard money lenders that are easy to work with, e.g. won’t tie your money up in draws. 

Fortunately for me all my friends have already called dibs!

The way we have done it is to borrow from my 401K, when I pay mine back borrow from hers and repeat this cycle so we always have one we can pull from. 3) This option will be controversial but I have taken out private money loans with family and friends. 

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.
