How to Start Investing in Real Estate in 2025 (ZERO Experience)Good luck, Tyler! 

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone Has had any good experience with a particular lender that will loan on a empty lot?

@Christopher StevensI appreciate your sharing your experiences so far. 

I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

I very well could have done it the wrong way, but this was just my experience.

Quote from @Jerome Brown: Hey BP, My name is Jerome Brown and i have some real estate experience.

It's now almost impossible to get a mortgage with a FICO score under 560-580 range.Overall, the housing market has higher average FICO scores and more equity than the 2008-2010 period.This makes it much less likely we'll experience another Great Recession, but there are no guarantees.

Your first year will be a learning experience, you will want to be close to the action, as you may not have the capital to pay someone to handle everything.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with BTRs?
