it is very difficult - much more difficult than advertised, and more difficult now than it was a few years ago because of the increase in interest rates and the heightened competition for distressed deals.the issue is this: you're up against other investors and businesses spending tens and sometimes even hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on marketing. 

@Bacongo Sandou Cisse- thanks ...if you will need financing - make sure you can get pre approved  or have access to funds to use to buy  before you spend too much time looking for proeprties - thanks 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I travel to the market spend a few days with them want to meet their crews and their family etc..

The time spent trying to generate attention to your site would probably be worth just spending the money to air bnb to avoid the headache but that's just my two cents.

You’ll spend more on surveys, permits, and building which is where you’ll need the financing or to pay directly over time.

How Much Cash Do I Have to Spend?

There is, however, a problem getting them to communicate with tenants so the tenants begin paying bills themselves, so you don't have to spend extra money every month;- Your account must have a minimum balance of $500.

We each have a spending budget and it accumulates each month. 

You can spend as little as $100 to form an LLC, or you could use an attorney and spend $1,000 or more.
