@Curtis OsaweyStarting with Section 8 housing can be a great strategy, especially since it provides consistent rental income.

@Haresh Patel I am invested in their Pic Car Wash 2,3,4.

If house hacking isn't the best option for me, how would you recommend starting out to build up some investments.

Sec8 is the "Options Trading" of Investment Real Estate. 

That is tight leverage for an investment 2nd position loan.A private investor might be willing to do it, it's not going to be cheap at all & will be short-term money & will not be a line of credit to take out at your liking.What is your rate on the 1st?

Best of luck on your journey into U.S. real estate investing!

If you are not finding good deals money wont find you.If you earn a decent wage and are credit worthy you can start investing by house hacking a multi family with a low down payment mortgage.If you have no money or credit your best best is start finding deals and bringing them to other investors who have money.

Been investing here for 9 years.

They've been advertising their new construction inventory on my Investment Properties For Sale Show since Q4 2024.

You can still buy houses in small farm towns in MN for $25k.
