That shows real estate can be possible for anyone; in my opinion, I know everyone has unique and challenging situations, but in principle, anyone who can follow some basic budget fundamentals can save up enough for a down payment.Grateful BiggerPockets continues to bring more people into the industry!

Quote from @Mary Holland: I'd love to hear about your experiences and how they compare to other types of commercial real estate financing.

Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

Imagine making millions of dollars over the course of your career and then having to pay 30-50% every year to uncle sam instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they just buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

Here’s a more polished version of your message:Hello BiggerPockets community,A close friend has been encouraging me to get into real estate investing for years.

Otherwise you can find excuses not to do Real Estate.

I'm exploring the demand for 3D virtual tours and high-quality real estate photography for both real REIs and (REAs).

I do like real estate but I am not sure $20K is enough to get started.
