Juan Lopez Newbie house hacker here from Rhode Island.

And a big part of that question is, "is this person really a cash buyer, or are they just saying they are".It is a bit of a chicken-and-egg, catch-22 type challenge - how can you get lenders to be willing to invest money with you when you have no experience, but how can you get experience without funding deals.You can try to find lenders who only focus on the deal and not the borrower (as @Sam Albert said), but be aware that many of those are going to want a substantial down payment.The other popular option, if it's available to you, is "friends and family" to help you out with your first deals, as they already know your general character and may take a chance with you on your first properties.Also remember that if you familiarize yourself with self-directed IRAs (plenty of resources here on BP and elsewhere - RIRIEG just had a weekend workshop on it a couple of weeks ago), you may find that friends and family you thought didn't have any money to invest actually do.Good luck and let us know as you have specific questions along the way of course :)
