However, can you buy real estate without using any of your own money?

(or if they're primary buyers, they don't care about yield, since they're going to live there.)i just went to visit two very distressed properties yesterday that i would buy.... if they were priced 50% lower.  

As always, we are here to help you navigate it all, whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about what’s out there.

Quote from @Chris Brewer: They’re actually asking more for the property that’s just the number I think I can buy it for.

I generally agree that buying SFH as first investment is an easy way to test the waters; however, if you’re set on REI I suggest buying a duplex or quad.

Cash flow approximately 350 a month.Option 2: Use the cash to buy land to build a 6 bed 4 bath duplex, all in cost approximately 300k/330k. 

Why would someone buy now and make little money for the chance that the rates will adjust later?

. $220,000 is definitely a lower purchase price amount and really limits you on what you can buy.

There is another house about two blocks over that I have the opportunity to buy off market under market value.
