It took me a few years to buy after becoming a realtor.

Where are you looking to buy, Stephan?

I recently moved to Nashville, TN, and am looking to buy my first property and house hack.

Lastly, plan to leverage your future income from working at your dad’s business to support your investment goals.If you want to discuss further, or would like to talk about taking out a loan in order to buy an investment property, or for any other purpose please feel free to DM me.

If you want to get a rental, take the money from the sale and buy a rental which doesn't require you paying over $1000 a month to keep it. 

@Michell Chase   Why and who are telling you cannot buy right away using a conventional loan?

Luckily my cash offer to buy a house was outbid and I didn’t get the property I made an offer on. lol I have taken five 401k loans up to 50k to buy houses.

We all know the playbook....teach novice investors how to buy in C/D locations where the cash flow appears higher despite the operating expenses and cap ex being disproportionately greater than better situated real estate.

There are many ways to invest in real estate, and many different forms of financing, and the "best" type will depend on what you are doing, your funds available, and so on.Here are a few examples:Many investors that buy and hold long term residential properties will use your standard conventional financing (typically 20% down for SFR and 25% down for 2-4 units).

I will also seek existing leases from any property I decide to buy.
