You want to buy real estate with no savings, which even if you can scrape together a 10-20% down payment, means you will have no cushion to fall back on when the inevitable surprise expense happens. 

Hi there :)I'm brand new to real-estate investing but motivated to take action and start gaining momentum on my dreams of building a portfolio of properties. 

Figure out the cost to sell, usually 5% to the real estate agent, sometimes a "concession" fee, and other closing costs.

🎉 Congrats to you and your husband on taking the leap into real estate investing!

I am starting real estate school soon to get my license but here in Florida I was told I can buy as an investor without. 

So, if the co-signer owns real estate that is usually sufficient.

We were the ideal customer of a real estate investor. 

I'm reaching deep into my psychic thoughts… I see it… A majority of people who respond to this post will be real estate brokers… I can see it!

That said, investing in real estate is primarily a get rich slowly endeavor.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.
