Buying My First RentalI was 24, being mentored by Dave for two years and I was ready to jump into real estate investing for myself.

That being said, I don't have the information I would need to say for certain, but that sounds as if that's a high price for the asset you're considering to buy.

For the most part, most lenders are going to be relatively close in cost assuming we are talking about a straight forward loan product, we all borrower from the same pool of money to make these loans. 

@Shayan Sameerif you borrow 100% of the purchase price, then you will likely lose money no matter which market you buy in. 

Originally from Pennsylvania, retired from the Navy in 2018, moved to Boise, ID (where I am now), and decided I want to buy my first investment property this year.

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

@Jill Young I may have a product that can work for you depending on the property specifics. 

I would avoid buying a property for the sake of buying a property. 

Does anyone have any insight on using seller financing to buy their primary residence?

Dial in your buy box, then be swift/actionable when ready.
