It may take a bit to get there...and if you decide to start your own business then you'll probably be putting in much more time than you expect until you get some momentum going.

If we could I would like to have the margages be low enough so we don't have to rely on the rent and it can just take care of it's own unit and anything left over I'll invest. to keep the momentum up we are ok staying here untill we have enough to put a fat down payment.We were thinking if the morgage taxes and insurance were about 500 to 600 a month we could comftorably live off her income. but I am not sure it's not exactly the sane as rent there are more expenses to owning a home

Just trying to get my foot in the door to closing that first deal, and then create momentum after that.

It also gave early momentum on my investing.To your question about FHA loans, I'd encourage you to talk with a couple mortgage brokers.

I finally gained momentum this past year with 3 multi-family buy and holds (18 doors and counting) and am looking to scale even more for 2018. 

Realizing that the first property doesn't have to be perfect but is meant for the momentum of your real estate investor career takes a lot of pressure of the first purchase. 

My husband and I are currently putting our family home up for sale to gain more momentum in buying real estate investments. 

., carry this momentum into 2018!

I would hate to have to slow my momentum just to fund a down payment. 

I'm in the beginning stage of building my business and I'm looking to keep the momentum going by establishing a daily/weekly routine.I'm interested in knowing what some of you all do on a day to day to run your business and to consistently close deals.At the moment I'm considering the following:-Making daily posts on classified sites like Craigslist advertising that I buy houses-Calling FSBO's and FRBO's-Driving for dollars & Door Knocking-Answering calls from my direct mail campaigns and setting appointmentsAre there more things that I should be doing?
