If financing is part of your strategy, consider exploring fix-and-flip loans, which are tailored to help investors like you fund both the purchase and the rehab of properties.Lastly, start small with your first project, ideally in a neighborhood where you understand the market dynamics.

I'm exploring getting into PadSplits.

We’re open to considering Section 8 rentals if they align with our goals.Our initial plan is to purchase one or two properties outright with cash, although we’re still open to financing options if the right opportunity arises.We’re planning a 1- to 2-week trip soon to explore Indiana and get a feel for different cities and neighborhoods.I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

Are you sticking to traditional banks, exploring private lenders, partnerships, or maybe something creative like seller financing?

It might be worth exploring those options, especially if you’re just starting out.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!

If you’re considering different markets or want to explore multifamily opportunities, I’d be happy to share insights and help you navigate the process.Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect and discuss strategies, markets, or anything else related to multifamily investing.

@Robert WestenbergerIf I were in your shoes, I would focus on multi-family homes, single-family homes with ADUs, or live-in flips, and explore financing options like FHA loans, conventional loans, or first-time buyer programs.

As you begin, remember to take your time researching and exploring different options.

Looking forward to exploring the potentials and the opportunity to collaborate!
