That shows real estate can be possible for anyone; in my opinion, I know everyone has unique and challenging situations, but in principle, anyone who can follow some basic budget fundamentals can save up enough for a down payment.Grateful BiggerPockets continues to bring more people into the industry!

But we also like the idea of having the highest cash flow possible.

@Michael Lam For advice, network as much as possible in the area.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

I have the money to buy now but I would rather do creative financing and use as little money as possible out of my own pocket. looking to start with BRRR method but maybe should start with a wholesale first to fund that?

I'm not sure what the current appraisal value is, but comps in the area range from $600k to $1M+.

So for many builders new construction stick townhomes is the most affordable, easiest approval odds, and highest return possible. 

What price range are you looking for?  

We plan on replacing the flooring and possibly new kitchen countertops.
