Everything your want to know is online, but, if you needed $100,000 or more to pay for Down Payment and all the Closing Costs for a Home, would you really want to even start?

We would not have been able to relax (retire sounds so final) early without our housing and utility costs being completely covered as they are.

This should include down payment, closing costs, potential rehab costs, and a reserve for unexpected expenses.Market Research:Choose a Market: Decide on a market where you want to invest.

- New builders have been given lots of incentives for months now - they pay closing costs, buy down interest rates, higher commissions for agents. - Possibly... in most areas of the country the market is a sellers market and the seller can get top dollar for their property.

Ill call around but it sounds like this is just another lessoned learned through the process and the cost is going to be in that ballpark anyways. 

Look for properties priced at least 20-30% below market value to account for renovation costs and profit margin.

This can mean additional costs for repairs and maintenance to meet these standards.Administrative Burden -> There can be significant paperwork and administrative work involved in maintaining compliance with Section 8 requirements.Please reach out to me directly if you want to go deeper into the subject, especially on the financing/loan side of things!

if it’s an investment property and it’s the right property with about 20% down, you could get a lender to finance the 80% and the construction costs.  

You can also try and incorporate a seller concession of up to 3% (with 3.5% down) which can help cover closing costs and reduce the cash needed to close.
