Assume you have cash currently earning 4.6% in high yield savings.

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.

I'd also suggest self-managing your first property to maximize cash flow and learn by doing for any future investments.

We just launched a Cash-Flow Breakfast Club for your area!

Why not joint venture with someone who has money, fix & flip itWhy not rent it out for at least the monthly carrying costs.Why not sell it on a lease option, get 10% cash up front to fund school? 

Purchase price: $140,000 Cash invested: $55,000 Sale price: $255,000 My business partner and I took on this Arlington property as a fix-and-hold investment.

This would allow for a longer carry back with up front cash flow.

Eventually, I’d like to start using the cash flow to pay myself and work toward replacing my day job income.

Ideal if you're short on cash upfront, but be prepared for higher monthly payments.Conventional Loan: @Chris Seveney and I agree conventional is your better option.  

B) I don't have to give the contractor any money upfront for anything.3.
