I currently got my first job as just the other day crap money and hours but I've finally got a job now so I can get another one easier as I now have an american "previous employer"What I'm trying to get at is, is it easier to try get a property from a landlord with a lease option as I don't have credit etc or wait several years and get one through a bank?

Frankly, a lot of BAD deals have been coming through my pipeline, but I remain hopeful for the needle in the haystack to finally appear.My question has to do with best practices for following-up with owners that have properties that I have no intention of buying.

I'm finally ready to take the plunge and think I found a great property to buy and hold.  

@Justin Robert so I forgot final numbersHouse A cashflows about $600 total after the mortgate/insurance/etcHouse B I expect to cashflow about $700 total after the mortgage/insurance/etcAt least they're cash flowing, but for 2 properties totaling $850,000 in total home value it seems like if you had eight $100,000 properties you could make like...40% more rent then these 2.

Finally, does anyone suggest any other lenders for this type of deal? 

BUT, the first side of our duplex is finally listed!

All of these deals were done between Denver, CO and Orlando, FL.We = Me, My partner who is also 22, and the team we built.My 2018 in ReviewPurchased  ~$8.6M worth of real estate across 35 properties for ~$5.7MWe sold and closed on 20 of these properties in 2018 for a gross profit of ~$1.15M after realtor commissionsand we still own 15 of those properties with about $1.2M in equity, all of which are scheduled to be sold and closed in early Q1 2019.Total Equity Created in 2018 was $2.35MTotal Equity Realized/Cashed Out was $1.15MTotal Equity in Assets We Still Own is $1.2MWe acquired the majority of these deals off market through our own marketing, and bought three of them off of the MLSTakeawaysYou can buy your first property before you're 25 :)Leverage is a powerful tool if you use it correctly (we stay under ~70% LTV across the portfolio at all times)The reason this worked is because of years of experience in off market acquisitions and an up market.
