I bet they would jump on it to save the money- or simply help them with social media marketing etc.

Hello - I'm new to Bigger Pockets, excited to get my real estate investment journey going.I own a Condo in Chicago with a friend of mine (split 50/50), which I've lived in for about 5 years.

Hello @Camille Romero congrats on getting started on your real estate journey. 

I have my credit where it needs to be have a down payment saved of around 17k and looking into Host financial to go through for my first deal I am wondering has anyone personally used it and how do you like the company and the process thank you and looking forward to the journey 

Wishing you both the best on this journey!

I really want to start my investment journey but I'm not sure if an out of state property would be a good choice while renting in NYC or if we don't move, to move to a cheap market, live in the property for a bit and then rent it out.

Your best bet is to ask for referrals from professionals in the space: realtors, other investors, this forum, FB groups, etc.

Looking forward to hearing more about your investment journey!

The country's continuous population growth, coupled with its high demand for urban housing, positions its real estate market for steady, long-term price increases.Over the past decade, cities like Berlin and Munich have seen remarkable growth in property values, with an increasing number of investors betting on the continued upward trend.

For those with limited funds, starting your journey through wholesaling, can be a smart move.
