@Derick Jennings Without knowing more about your situation, I'd likely recommend a house hack, a strategy I wish I would have known about when I got started.

@Jerry Velezstrongly recommend against doing this.start with a house hack instead.make it your mission to house hack.did i mention house hacking? 

House hacking is a great way to get started.

Do you own your own house? 

I would also mention that once you have invested in Utah, I recommend the Utah Rental Housing Association as a resource.

I found a house that I like to purchase in a great neighborhood and the exterior looks great for a 1922 stick built house.

Try looking into cities in with stable economies, strong renter populations, and where housing is below the US median value.

I am looking at different loan options but to break even (not having to put any money of my own in the house after the initial down payment) the current down payment required is that much. 

My plan for this year is to remodel and upgrade the house to then put it to cashflow either via short/long term rental.

Hey All - As my fix & flip company has grown in the last two years, we are beginning to bring our own construction in house.
