I have done a handful of flips using cash, partnering with friends, and making it work. 

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $15,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

So back to being a real estate investor: the only way to be one is to buy a property and create value out of it, whether through finding a below market value house and selling for a profit, or renting and creating cash flow.  

We have a property management company in New Jersey where we make some of our best clients hundreds of thousands of dollars between helping them force appreciation, increase cash flow, finding them deals etc.

Just focus on running the numbers carefully to ensure the property cash flows or at least covers expenses, and don’t hesitate to lean on resources here for advice.If you’re financing, look into FHA loans, as they’re great for first-time buyers purchasing up to 4-unit properties with low down payments.

Are there going to be banks involved, creative seller financing or all cash? 

Condo's usually have high HOA dues which will eat into your cash flow.

It's called Lifetime Cash Flow.

Hey Patrick, You can easily do a 1st mortgage refinance or 2nd HELOAN DSCR Cash out while keeping title to your property held in an S-Corp.

You can still easily find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.
