That way, you can get your foot in the door, start building equity, and stay at home a bit longer to save more money.You could also consider the BRRRR method where you buy a fixer-upper, rehab it to add value, rent it out, and then refinance to pull your cash back out.

Yes i am in the Bronx market and looking into closing on a 2-4 family unit property. i am currently looking into different methods of creatively funding the deal and looking into partnerships to create capital. .
