The property value must be a minimum of $250,000 USD, and the credit score requirement is at least 700 points, among other conditions.

Many note funds take on debt from larger lenders or lines of credit against their assets.

Whether bank or credit union - either will work. 

I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.

While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025.

What tips do you have for someone just getting started?

Any tips or advice?

Real estate actually takes access to capital and/or credit. 

I understand the BRRRR method is not all that it used to be in the past years, but given that I have a lot of capital to play with, I figured that I would still be able to find ways to make it applicable.Does anybody have any suggestions/tips for me?

Another option is to co-sign but that has the same impact on my credit and responsibility to the bank.
