While others above have highlighted the ability to purchase a property with 0% down, there is one large stipulation: you must purchase a property as a primary residence.

Hey Zach, lots of reasons: 1) Local Expertise: For instance, My primary states are Hawaii and Washington.

Some of the cash we saved HH over 5 years is fuel for our next rental purchase. 4-6 unit in Bergen county (maybe in Passaic county but class B is a must), $1m to $1.5m purchase price.

After all, platforms like BiggerPockets were started by investors targeting Midwest and Southern markets, where properties are much cheaper, and cash flow is often the primary focus.

This gives them the same protection and coverage under your policy as you have as the primary policyholder.

Keep your day job.Fortunately, this is my 2nd business and my primary business is small construction company. 

I’ve only ever done renovations for my rentals or primary home. 

Seems to be what most most turn to who want to buy real estate beyond their primary residence. 

My aim is cash flow not appreciation (as a primary strategy).  

My primary focus right now is on finding opportunities to generate passive income through real estate investments.As a beginner in the field, I’m eager to learn from others who have gone through the process and are now experiencing the rewards of their hard work.
