It will be really tough to get 100% of the cash needed on your first deal, unless it is a family member or friend. 

We have 2 multi-family properties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and we just bought our first fix N flip last week.

I'd rather not ask my parents or family members to co-sign eitherSo the question is what would you do and recommend in my situation

After seven months, I took another leap and purchased a single-family home, which I also converted into a short-term rental.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) private money loan investment.

Currently I have the ability to purchase a single family residence for a price that won't cash flow unless I add an in-law suit of sorts.

Petersburg FL) with the "low income" I'm making (around $4,200 per month) at my job, it's proving difficult to find a multi family property that I can afford with month to month tenants or with 1 vacant unit.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

Since you work out of town you can recruit people to drive around for you give him a piece of the deal or family members can help you for.

I grew up in South Florida and have spent the last year reviewing the market for a multi family buy so I’ll share some thoughts.
