Easy first step...

If the deal comes to fruition and you decide to fund it with a different method (aka private funding), so be it.

Getting your license is exciting, so congrats on that step. 

Eviction may be the correct step, but (and this may seem to go against #1) you need to find her a place she can afford. 

So my first step is finding and meeting others in the area that are like-minded and share the same goals. 

That is however only one step.

I am looking to buy my first property and thought this would be the best way to catapult me into real estate investing.Home is worth 780K and I would 380K.The thought was to get liquid and leverage the money to purchase a duplex/triplex and have some leftover for maintenance and unknowns.I was told selling my home to my corporation might be the best way to get all my monies in my home for that first step in real estate investing.Looking for comments and suggestions or anyone else in the same situation and how you moved forward. 

Good morning everyone,I'm trying to get into real estate investments using the house hacking method for my first property.

The problem was that after I made that down payment of about $45,000, I had very little money to keep expanding.I had to use multiple lower money techniques in order to grow over the years including:-401K loan for down payments on three properties-FHA owner occupied 4 plex with 3.5% down-Conventional mortgages with 5% down on 2 single family homes that I owner occupied and later turn into rentals-BRRRR method on one home to get all my cash back and buy another propertyThe next thing I'm doing is either refinancing or selling a property in order to get way more units.

Make sure you follow up with the company on each and every step so that you can be informed and also learn stuff about rehabbingGood luck,Tim
