Hi everyone:  I have been interested in RE forever but as with most, life happens and other things take priority.  

I had a contractor walk through the place and am comfortable with the condition and amount of work it needs. 

I have a tenant who is threatening to withhold next month's rent.

I don't think I have enough saved up for the costs it will be in order to get this unit into a move in condition.

Our goal is to get enough rental income to cover all of our expenses so that everything we earn from our day jobs is just money we can put towards living the life that we want to live. 

@Manolo D.Depends on what kind of discount you can get on a property and it's condition and if you intend to sell or lease.  

FHA guidelines allow using collateralized loans (i.e. your 401(k), stocks, bonds, life insurance deposits, other real estate) but not anything that would increase your monthly obligation - so private loans, signature loans, etc. are all out for FHA.

I would also like to reach out to investment partners if possible.I have wanted to get involved with real estate for several years now, but life happened. 

It isn't fast cash, but when you get to 15K, 20K a month income it will be life changing.
