Trying to learn and figure out how to get started.

I know there is a lot that I'm going to need to learn, and ultimately it will come down to how much the student puts into it.  

Negative cash flow and extended vacancy.RTR’s property management recommendations have been disappointingRTR team has been supportive and informative over the last 7 monthsAs a first time investor, I was thrilled to learn about RTR.

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:Banks lend 75-80% LTV, so they likely won’t refinance 100% of the property value.They require LLC documents, rental income proof, and a strong DSCR.A new appraisal determines how much they’ll lend.If the bank offers 80% LTV on a $55,000 property, I’d get $44,000, meaning I’d need to cover any shortfall to pay off the owner-financed loan.For those who have done this, have you found banks that offer higher LTVs?

Lessons learned?

Focus on networking and learning from experienced investors—you're already ahead of 99% of people your age, so stay consistent and take action!

Looking forward to networking and learning from you all.

With no experience or funds to get going on this solo (currently a bartender), my thought was to join someone who is already doing it and learn along the way.

I purchased/still going through tutorials, entering data and trying to learn the program. 

My journey right now is learning more about real estate investing as I've been very passive and bought without much research beforehand.
