Last year my best deal came from calling the tax delinquent list.

I have been trying to save up money but it is not near a down payment for a traditional loan.

Having a vacancy costs money!

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.

Hey @Divine Nasikpo,If you have limited cash or assets, there are still ways to start earning in real estate:Wholesaling: While there are mixed opinions, wholesaling can be done with minimal money.

The truth is if your investors have no involvement in the operations, If they just put in money and expect to get a profit, you have created a de facto syndication.2) I see a ton of people who just raise money for the syndication. 

Obviously the numbers need to make sense but I am all in favor of trying to purchase properties in more A class area with the loan since there will only be very few times you can buy multifamily in these neighborhoods with as little money out of pocket.

Worst case you have zero money and you pay interest for one month on $330 for an “expensive” repair. 

Simply put that money in your pocket and save it up for repairs.
