Once we had the home inspection I was able to have the seller credit us at closing $8k...of which the escrow could not credit the entire amount and so I had the seller write up a personal check for $2000 How did you finance this deal?

I’m set to close on a property in early August and am trying to make sure I’ve got all the correct paperwork/wording to make it all legit.

Quote from @Mike Klarman: For a guaranteed 10% down program you'll need good credit and 3+ experience but then with closing costs it will be more like 15% and then holding costs and such. 

Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Lexington are all with in a fairly close distance which could help with scale.  

I have gotten more serious about it these past 2-3 months and I hope to close in on my first deal very soon. 

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

My money market funds are dedicated to go towards a down payment, closing costs, etc.

Quote from @Ryan Davies: We have heard of them but have chosen not to close deals through them since we have found better options.
