This post is for seasoned investors.You are starting out and do not have a mortgage, yet.

This would be our first investment and like many starting out, I want to properly educate myself by learning and doing as I go on with this project. 

Not that its impossible to get creative financing or that its bad to start investing I'm not saying that by any means at all the earlier the better but the safety blanket is small with no reserves for an expensive learning experience which in this industry is likely. 

Started a reading journey in November of 23 that changed my trajectory.  

I would think that might start to have an impact.

It's great to hear about you starting your real estate journey.

I started by placing my 1st rental property into an LLC (for this example, *JOHN SMITH PROPERTY INVESTMENT, LLC*).

I used money from my business savings earmarked for starting a group home for my mentally ill nephew, who has been struggling since his mother's passing.

Talking with an agent in a different state the other day and they started talking about this or that issue, that I never really heard about. 

Have you already started working with lenders to figure out which loan product might be best and what price point that might put you at based on that?
