If you want to buy your first property ASAP, house hacking (duplex, triplex, or renting extra rooms) is one of the best ways to start with a low down payment while learning property management.

Green for low and red for high property values.

House hacking is a great way to build wealth while keeping your living costs low.

Like @Bonnie Low, we also use Baselane and have had a good experience with it!

A debt service loan would be a good option if your DTI is high, you want to close in an LLC, you're self-employed or have low income on paper, or you don't have a stable 2-year work history.

Most of those old houses with the upstairs ceiling rooms are just about 7 ft in the middle of the room but they go down to as low as 3 ft.

I also have a building though in a low income suburb and that place is 10x the work and I kind of want to find a manager for it.

I'm planning on doing a str loophole so low priced str won't work well for me 

Low entry costs How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I use to mentor newbies at an extremely low fee.
