Thanks~Current situation:1. startup captital- 10,0002. no job3. bad credit: assuming that my credit card was closed for defaulting on payments for half a yr and I got turned down even for a department store credit card4. about to graduate in this summer from college5.No experience in real estate,except that I read a few books about real estate investingSo, what's my best chance at getting a conventional loan or any other creative loans in financing for my first buy in this situation?

My husband has a product going to market 2 months from now that could lead to a startup company if it does as well as expected.

You need 25 to 30% down as an investor so that eliminates many start up investors.

The "cons" of our business are no start-up cash of our own and an average credit score. 

Hello All,I am a 26 year old college graduate currently looking to start up my REI business and my biggest issue has been financing.

The startup costs are significant for what the value being provided appears to be.

I also got married this year and we will not be filing jointly as my husband is working towards loan forgiveness and we are trying to keep his payments down(when they start up again). 

My plan right now is to use my own money for a down payment and start-up reserves, and finance about 80% through a bank.

Low start up and fairly easy to maintain.

Hello all, my name is Samuel Minter, novice investor/intermediate landlord, in the startup phases of building a profitable real estate business.
