Hi Joshua, the amount of down payment also changes with the cost of the property, so starting with a less expensive property may be smart (for multiple reasons).

I have multiple lenders that can do 100% financing for your short-term rehab loans and long-term DSCR cash-out loan options to refinance and hold the property once it has been rehabbed.

I learned about them from a Rent to Retirement podcast where they interviewed a former W2 FT sales guy in tech (that's me today...) turn real estate investor.

I've interviewed him twice on my podcast (once with @Chris Seveney and once on my current show), and I thoroughly enjoyed those conversationss. 

I hear this even in popular podcasts like Thanks for Visiting where they recently have been interviewing very seasoned, successful MTR hosts and keep asking 'but what about the risk of squatters??'

Everything comes with a risk but I want to hear everyone's opinions for both states in the long run, thanks in advance It really depends on your style and goals and type of investing.I invest in multiple states and there can be some substantial differences.First decide if you want to do Flips, Long Term Rentals, Short Term Rentals, Shared Housing, Multi Family, Land, Tax Deeds, REITs, Syndication, Commercial and then decide.
