@Travis Gutting, the fact of the matter is: $100k in today's market is by and large going to land you in a "rough part of town", a MAJOR renovation, or into rural areas.Granted, I don't know every market, but Cincinnati (my market) and Louisville are not too dissimilar.  

@Katie Accashiani know this wasn't your question but i have to ask... what's your strategy? 

awesome, would you happen to know good real estate agents out there. thanks 

@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

Too many honestly to name  Wow, I did not know you could do that with AI.

I currently have about 50,000 saved and want to start putting it to use, knowing real estate is one of if not the safest investments.

Let me know how things are going!

I think in the past, I've let what I "know" get in the way of what I can learn so this time, I'm just going to learn everything.

10) Knowing what to do if tenant is late on rent or doesn't pay.There's a lot more, but many here on BP self-manage and learn via "trial by fire".Of course, you can always hire a Property Management Company to handle it for you.
