There are programs that offer 100% financing for many different people like Veterans, First time home buyers, (Certain states), Medical professional loans also offer 100% (Anyone with a Medical license).You also have Second Home or Vacation home which only requires 10% down.

It will add to your costs, but can save you time and reduce stress.

Hi All -I would still consider myself a bit of a rookie, but I have been investing now for about 3 years.I currently own an 11 unit RV Park in which I own all of the units and rent them out.I have successfully completed a BRRR in Alabama with $4K left in the deal, and I am in the process of completing my first two SFH Fix & Flips in Detroit, Michigan.I am looking to build out a potential buyers list, JV partners, and just network in general with like-minded people. 

It takes time.

@Jay Hinrichs thank you for the response first and foremost.True i am not under contract with the owner.

It worked well on our first place, we just took our listing live today for the second.
