Hello all,I currently work an 8-5 job that is very analytical and numbers-oriented.With a solid background in finance, I would like to leverage my skills in analyzing deals and get started in the real estate investing arena.GOAL:Purchase SFR (3/2) rental property in the next 12 months to create passive income sourceRequirements of SFR: ≥$200 per month in cash flow (Income – Operating Expenses – Debt Service)Use property management companyGood location (schools, low-crime, etc.)Certain property condition criteria (ex. no foundation problems, etc.)Financing options: Seller financing would be ideal, but I understand this is 1 in 100Most attractive alternative:Conventional loan – 80% (thus, 20% down payment)Most or all of down payment financed through private lenderThus, my only out-of-pocket costs would be rehab expenses (but best case scenario if private lender can cover those as well)As you can see, my goal is to buy an SFR with as-little-to-no money down as possible (at a nice discount, of course) and create instant equity through forced appreciation.A few questions for you experienced investors out there: Does this financing sound reasonable?
