I have the ambition but no backing...

Consulting with a tax professional and financial advisor to create a comprehensive strategy that balances your real estate ambitions with long-term financial security.Remember, successful real estate investing is about managing risk as much as seeking returns.

Last year, I shared my ambition in this forum to house-hack my first property using the $30,000 I had accumulated through years of investing.

Here’s the REALITYWhile I compliment you on your ambition and drive, lenders want the borrower to have their own cash in the deal, not borrowed money for down payment.  

I'm the youngest in the group (by 20+ years) and my inexperience in real estate transactions is combated by my ambition and ability to work with numbers (this is where my job as a credit analyst comes into play).

Your lofty ambitions of helping investors with every aspect of their rental property better come with a hefty price tag, or you will find yourself in the poorhouse.  

We have decent credit, plenty of ambition, and really don't like our day jobs, but we don't have the cash to get us started.

On the other hand, IMO I have done fairly well for not having much more than an imagination and a good amount of ambition.

If you have no real estate experience to sell, sell your ambition and prior successes in other fields.
