Another option is to seek out creative financing solutions or grants that assist new investors.

Different coaches specialize in different things, we specialize in accredited investors buying off market properties, with little down, for instance.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with DSCR loans, esentially, we are taking the cash flow of the property, plus your investor expeirence and giving out 30 year fixed rate mortgages. 

Connecting with other investors and house hackers in Grand Rapids is a great way to learn and gain valuable insights.

I am a property manager, broker, and investor here in Clarksville. 

Some other investors recommend doing a 20-25 year amortization period on the loan which helps cash flow a ton.

@Noah Bacon Investors should be aware that, in many states, an investor can not act as Owner/Builder on a property that is not their primary residence.But as far as what Investors tend to screw up, the list is long and painful: Structural - Awful framing, undersized headers and beams (or none, Lol)Electrical - Don't even get me started......Plumbing - Not as bad as electrical but still....leave it to the Pros.And the main thing that people screw up is, believe it or not, painting.

This time around I wanted to do traditional real estate and learn all all I can to work with investors and invest in real estate for myself.

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

:)It's great that you're eager to connect with experienced investors!
