Conventional financing is a great option to get started if you have a W2 job or easily verifiable income and you're financing a 1-4 unit property.

We are not the right choice for everyone, but we do help hundreds of investors every year start and progress their investing goals.

A duplex is a great starting point.

I am about to start a full rehab on a 5 unit brownstone in Bed-Stuy...

Quote from @Makani Donaldson: Hey everyone, so I started briefly looking into my markets that I would want to get into then met with a lender.

I feel the investor is off to a great start.

Will send 👍I would love a copy as well, just getting started with Real Estate Pro.

Proof of concept seems to be a key part of your strategy starting off.   

I bet that essentially no one is starting new construction projects, which bodes extremely well for owners 2-4 years from now.- Prices for insurance policies will never go back down, but it is not unreasonable to expect costs to rise at a more predictable pace from here.

Regarding getting started, I recommend finding an STR owner who's overwhelmed or just worn out with managing their property, and perhaps who's also not using a dynamic pricing tool, and then offering to manage it for a very small cost.
