But, sometimes the issues needed to be dealt with might prevent some types of financing, so the Escrow method is one way to stay on track.This also assumes, of course, the lender agrees to it.

There are a variety of methods people use @Matthew Hall, ranging from direct mail to driving for dollars, to targeting specific niches (such as delinquent tax records).

Hi @Samara Rivers,What you're doing is a popular method of buying properties.

Is there a nuts and bolts article on BP that has applied the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method to the IRS Publications for those of us do not view the IRS Codes as a challenge?    

Real estate investors have a variety of methods to find fix/flip deals, whether it is direct mail, driving for dollars, connecting with wholesalers or realtors, or another strategy.

If the deal comes to fruition and you decide to fund it with a different method (aka private funding), so be it.

Brilliant!

Good morning everyone,I'm trying to get into real estate investments using the house hacking method for my first property.

The problem was that after I made that down payment of about $45,000, I had very little money to keep expanding.I had to use multiple lower money techniques in order to grow over the years including:-401K loan for down payments on three properties-FHA owner occupied 4 plex with 3.5% down-Conventional mortgages with 5% down on 2 single family homes that I owner occupied and later turn into rentals-BRRRR method on one home to get all my cash back and buy another propertyThe next thing I'm doing is either refinancing or selling a property in order to get way more units.

@Alexander Felice I tried this method on my most recent purchase and was shut down by the closing agent.
