Hello everyone, I'm Vividh, and I'm thrilled to join the Bigger Pockets community as I embark on my journey in real estate investing.

This depends where you are investing.

Lender 2 requires 6 months reserves. they want the borrower to document any large deposits and they want mortgage statements on any investment properties listed on the 1003.The point is different lenders do different things and it's important to not generalize as a broker, but interview the borrower, find their pain points and marry them with a lender that will minimize those pain points for a successful close. 

This could include rental properties, REITs, or your primary residence.Fixed Income: 15-25%This includes bonds, CDs, and other low-risk investments.

Find a top broker to represent you and market your deal to the investing world.2.

so if you're in Connecticut, invest in Connecticut. 

This will be an out of state investment for myself. 

If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators" and we will receive a notification and respond.Again, welcome to BiggerPockets and happy investing!

I'd search something along the lines of "[city] cash buyers", "[city] wholesale real estate", "[city] real estate investment", etc.Investor friendly agents are also great ways to source deals.

Homes in need of repair or renovation can still be found at competitive prices, creating significant upside for those willing to invest the time and resources.Rental Market Backup: Investors also have the benefit of Indianapolis’ strong rental market as a fallback option.
