I pretty much tell my friends expect 12 to 15k in getting the cabin to where you want it for rentals.  

You could do direct to seller marketing (cold calling, texting, mailers etc.) and or connect with some of the great agents in the area that are investor friendly who already have deal flow for off market deals.

Hello friends!

I think it should suffice to say this approach is not your friend.

@Raz MalikIn Ohio both the Columbus and Cleveland markets are great for investing in from out of state since they are landlord-friendly, and have a low barrier of entry and cash flow.

I actively engage with my network of investors to provide opportunities.I’d love to meet with any investors or investor-friendly agents in the Phoenix area and all throughout Arizona.

I would check with your lender to confirm if 0% can be used for 3 and 4 units...they might require 5% down.SFR investment with rehab can also be a great way to invest in real estate. it just depends what are your strengths and goals and which strategy will best serve you.buying a home a year is normal for some. depends on what your goals are.Id think of it like planting a tree: being 25, time is on your side. if you have a solid income with healthy DTI, I would suggest taking advantage of it by house hacking small multi in A/B market and let father time be your friend.

I have a few other investor friends who are finding deals too.

An ideal bank would  allows one to set aside tenant's deposit money in a separate account that earn decent interest and is landlord friendly.

I'm looking for relations with an Investor friendly realtor or broker.
