One key differentiator is first time investor vs. first time homebuyer - it will be much easier to qualify as a first time borrower for an investment property loan if you own a primary or at least have done so recently

Hi, I am a new investor who is having an issue getting into real estate investing because of funding issues. 

Hey community, i have a question which has been on my mind as an investor for long.

@Leon KorpelWe have partners who are foreign investors.

I wanted to open up a discussion about buying and selling real estate in today's market conditions.I am a Real Estate Agent and Investor, but whether you're a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer, navigating these waters can be challenging.

I've considered this scenario from the perspective of the cash investor for the down payment. 

Or would you need to speak with potential investors/partners/ etc etc because that might change what the next step would be in my opinion

"investors", "Investment", "Cash Only" "Hard Money", "Handyman", Handy Man", "Fixer Upper", "Rehab", "TLC"

Investors who sell properties like this have given up so you either go way lower and handle the squatters or a little higher and make them deliver.

This is where a GC can really screw you.The GC/Investor relationship is a murky, volatile, uncomfortable swamp with many nasty creatures lurking.
