I keep reading about all the weird financing issues in this space so I wouldn't actually put money in until mid 2025 or later.  

As long as the lender can finance in the state that you want to buy in, then work with them.

We are only selling completed homes with our own in house financing currently at 3.75%, a huge discount from most bank rates.We are a long time property provider for some of the bigger podcasters: Real Estate Guys Radio, Marco Santorelli (Norada), Kathy Fetke (RWN) Jason Hartman ( Empowerd Investor) GRE (Keith Weinhold), Whitecoat Investor Group and more We also work with American Homes for Rent, Invitation Homes, Crescent, Haven Realty (JP Morgan) to name a few on the institutional side We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects.

Any tips?

I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Quick tips:1st - you do not need income to get financing.

Any helpful tip or feedback, please?

That's when we call you, so cash deal, not hard money, no financing, need to close it on Monday. 

However, in private financing it is customary for the borrower to foot those costs.You can find each institution's registered account and arm's-length mortgage guidelines, and fees on their respective websites.
