Are you open to exploring out-of-state investing?

Two of those are Real estate Investing, and working in the Residential Construction Industry.

You will likely need financing to scale (especially to scale quickly), and investment property mortgage will not be cheap or even available with poor credit. 

If you classify the property as a "second home" instead of an investment property, you could potentially put down as little as 10%, which is a great advantage.

Buy-to-Let StrategyGiven the strong rental market in Germany, the buy-to-let strategy is one of the most effective ways to invest in German real estate.

While I am a lender, I personally use hard money on all of my own investment projects.

I have to learn all the investment lingo as I am kind of a newbie with rental properties.

I have an opportunity to invest in Little Rock, AR and wanted to get opinions on the area.

For context, I am working on a passive investing platform with no cash-flow and emphasis on equity growth.
