(Now, if you can do an STR or MTR, you can juice your rental numbers, but you're also doing a little more work.)To me, appreciation is the real money-maker in real estate.

Hello All, I am under contract to buy a duplex via a wholesale deal and have already given the earnest money deposit.

Take this money and reinvest elsewhere 

Hello Jonathan, I would definitely recommend the low money down option as long as it cashflows.

I put 35k of my own money to rehab the property and get it rental ready and opened up an LLC. 

This will be a major expense, so I want to make sure its worth it compared to other options to spend my money. 

Yes, it will cost some money or equity but it is much easier to have someone guide you down a path then it is to go at it with a blind fold on.

Are you leveraging the stability of conventional loans, the speed of hard money loans, the flexibility of private money, the creativity of seller financing, or the collaborative approach of partnerships?

The idea that you can build wealth without putting any money into it is a recipe for disaster and the sales pitch of gurus trying to steal your money.

With providing some rough numbers, my extended work experience with my company, and my credit to the lender, he informed me that I could potentially qualify for a $250k property with an FHA loan and a conventional down payment assistance loan which would put me with little to no money down out of pocket.
