Also, make sure you are saving for general maintainance, Cap ex, 1 month vacancy/year, property mgmt.

I want to rent out my current property and finance the new home without dipping into my savings.

My tenants are interested in buying their rental from me but need time to improve/establish their credit as well as save up a down payment.

I began to work…. and save…and work again.Fast forward to today, I can proudly say I was able to purchase my first townhome in March, that I plan to rent out in the future.

I think if I woudn’t mess with windows I could’ve save one week or so.After we listed:1 st contract came after 2 weeks on market.

I don't know many buyers that have the desire or ability to put an extra $16,920 'down' at the buy to save $1080. 

The time and cost to get and maintain a license are not worth the savings, and even though you will have a license you will know just enough to be dangerous, especially with multifamily.

You need to look at the actual estimated life span of things and since you know your exit timeframe you can figure out an exact dollar amount to save every month.

I've just started the online course through Real Estate Express and plan on completing it before I make the trip home.I do have some money saved up to keep me afloat for a few months while I get into the business but I'm just looking for any advice or tips towards being a successful agent and making a salary as soon as possible once I start. 

For example - bills, savings, education, etc.
