I'd love to be able to start that way, but it's impossible in my location.Try to run the numbers and see if it makes sense for you, but for most real estate investors, I believe house hacking is the most intelligent/reasonable place to start. 

There are 3 ways this can happena) Salaries increase (unlikely)b) Interest rates drop (not very likely since we I believe we have $8T of debt to sell next year that is coming off books and China and Russia are not buying US dollar as muchc) Home prices drop2.

Example: invest in syndications / short-term rentals / oil & gas wells / solar projects / conservation easements, and so on, due to the tax losses they generate.

Believe what you will.

Quote from @Juan Ruben Cortez: I believe the funding fee is 0.5% of the remaining loan balance, plus maybe another $500 - $1,000 in lender fees.

I know what my ideal life looks like in ten years, unfortunately, I don’t feel like I can have my ideal life now because I am having to stay in the state that I am in until we can move without risk of my husband losing custody of his child, which will be in about 10 years so believe it or not I do spend a lot of time thinking about what I want the future to be like.
