You can try tax liens as George suggested (you have to know what you are doing) or perhaps try investing in mortgage note fund or some crowdfunding platforms which require smaller amounts to get started. 

I have multiple people from other platforms contacting me to learn and get input. 

Hello everyone I'm excited to be a part of this platform and I'm looking to buy an investment property.  

A lot of people (billion) use these companies platforms daily so idk but perhaps hundreds of thousands actually picked.?

Make sure they are selling you decent real estate and that they have a decent reputation.  

We currently rent a decent house for $2500 per month (very decent rent price for this area!)

I love BP; you'll love the platform; I especially like their interviews and the rental property calculator.

This is surface level, as every deal has its own specifics, but.......I have seen a handful of portfolio loans (which is what you are describing) come through our lending platform in the last few weeks.  

This is the main  retail platform in the world and has been going 60 years.

@Jay Hinrichs on show 222 you mention that you were working on a new platform for short term investments.
