Quote from @Jason Baker: I’m A 11th Grader And I’m Committed To Being A Young Real Estate Investor After HighSchool...Just Trying To Seek AdviceThe average person who went to college carries $40,000 in debt. 

The purpose of marketing is to attract an in-person showing.

Until you see the property in person the numbers are completely meaningless unless you have a working relationship with that listing broker for years.

Several options you can explore to get the down payment capital: Solo401k; HELOC on personal residence or from equity of the SFR; Cash Value Life Insurance Policy; Business Credit; Private Lenders, to name a few.

Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies.

I personally have had amazing success with properties which are between 2 and 12 units, which most people would call “small multi-family.”

The only thing that keeps me from owning a house for my personal use is the baggage it comes with like maintenance, time and overhead costs.But I understand It'll cut costs and is something I should really think about.Thanks

Work with your commercial lender/insurer/lawyer/personal banker and see if they know of any interested parties.4. 

You want this to be your backup plan if things take longer than anticipated, you do not want to dip into personal credit cards so i would use a heloc to help with down payment but try to keep a nice available balance on a heloc as your insurance policy. 

And then you can use that information to start to develop your own personal due diligence method: Crowdstreet.com, 1031 Crowdfunding, Akr7, Finresi etc.
