Hi all,I’m in talks with a landlord about leasing a property for $3,600/month, but that’s above my budget. I plan to negotiate the rent and I want to present my proposal to show how I’ll manage the property responsibl...

This is a great tip

Since you’re interested in the stock market too, you could consider a finance or real estate investment role that bridges both interests.Best of Luck!

How did you finance this deal?

I can't remember the cost, not too bad, but no phone callsI sent out 1,000 mailers (letters) I designed in envelopes a week for a couple of years and made a ton of money buying properties using "creative finance" some call subto.

Appreciate your tips! 

But since you will be able to finance with LTVs, potentially higher leverage may be used and can scale the portfolio faster with the right strategy. 

Whenever I am having an issue with financing, I normally reach out to local institutions.

I appreciate the tip about the current market conditions.

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front.
