How do you raise your initial capital to afford your first property, (without creative Real Estate investing)?

Down the track, I’m open to out-of-state, but initially I want to be on the ground.

Initially, we plan to invest in lower-risk opportunities such as arbitrage to gain a better understanding of the market.

I initially bought the property for around $215k, but it's now worth ~$350k with about $165k left on the 30-yr mortgage that is at 2.85%..

Thank you for welcoming me and my initial post, Veni.

On top of the 'commonly used' investor filters like 2+ years back taxes, recently inherited, etc- I loved some additional possible/ unique filters like number of structures on a parcel, min/max land sq ft, initial purchase price, and ability to narrow down to very specific areas on a map.

Once the RFTA is submitted, they will notify you if the full rent has been approved and provide initial inspection details.

We had initially presented them with a 6 month lease, and after hearing they would like to move we offered a 3 month lease which again they refused to sign.

To gain that experience, I could go to a 3-day training session for $3000.

I have some initial capital and am ready to get started.
