., short-term rentals, furnishing, home improvements)?

Conveniently located in Bryan TX, within walking distance to A&M Bus stop and a short 5 minutes drive to College Station, home to the largest university in the state, Texas A&M.

I have to flip an entire house to make $12k, but an agent makes that in a couple hours without having to leave their home?!?!

Most others find seller-financed deals through pulling data on property owners in the areas they want to buy that have a lot of equity in their homes.

I would like to start close to home as I plan to self manage the rental side of it.

It’s a small single-family home in Florida that I plan to BRRRR.

The remaining would be paid to them as we sell off the homes built.

I also have 401k with 4,500 which I estimate will be 7,000 by the end of the year.Fund 1: 24kFund 2: 180k401k: 7k Right now, I am a renter that pays 900 per month, with a stay at home wife with a child on the way.

IF I recall on my personal home the option fee was 25k but that was 2001. 

Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.
