hey guys so to start off with I'm 22 years old and looking to invest into real estate. me and my two friends(also 22) have created a team and are looking into buying our first multi family property to rent out. to any of you who already own rental properties what would you guys have for advice for someone just starting out. what is something you would've done different when you were just starting out. right now the biggest thing is getting the money for a down payment. anybody have suggestions or tips or any types of loans that don't require such a large down payment. any feedback is much appreciated.
