Depending on other factors (credit score, property location, etc) you can look into the hard money route.

Some of the guru's talk and talk about no money down, yadda yadda, but that's just not the norm from what I've seen. 

Theres two concerns here, time and money. 

You are paying money thinking it will bring you business, when in reality it's just bringing you a bunch of contacts that aren't serious.Build relationships.

Since I am 19 I don't have tons of money to just go and buy a property to invest into.

But at least you will have that information before you pull out the money for the down payment.Good Luck!

With that said, how much you spend on staging will depend on the neighborhood and your property value. 

This is not the same as a conventional loan where estimates are many pages, sent before day three, resent when you lock, and again before closing to protect a consumer who probably only does a mortgage loan a couple times in their life.Hard money and business purpose loans send an email term sheet which generally tells you the rate and points which can change after the appraisal and details become real. 

You might want to look into spending some of those funds on a program to learn more about apartment investing.  

Anything better than that - meant success to them.Another thing I learned was that this saying stops a lot of people, "it take money to make money".
