@Darryl JacksonHow much you need can depend on many factors , the purchase price of the home , the rehab costs etc.Also if you are going to pay all cash or leverage ( hard money or private money loans etc ) If you don’t own your own home I’d suggest doing a live in flip or house hack as you can take advantage of low money down loans like an FHA loan for 3.5%Many people have used this as a way to start out and gain equity that they then use for other deals .It’s possible to do deals without your own money if you do a joint venture type deal but could be hard to find someone to partner without experience, might have to give up more than half the profit but still better than no deal .

I know that joint ventures are another way of investing private capital with other investors and living off of the returns. 

Should be able to but again...where u are or it is makes a huge diff

Not sure that helps but if u can get a degree while getting a real estate license like I’m going to do why not?

You can do joint ventures, lease options and more.

We are going to look at a joint venture to build multifamily project 3 stories high and over 250 units.  

We were trying to figure out how we could work with her so that we could be joint owners. 

What do u guys think about investing in townhomes?
