If you wanted to get fancy you can play the arbitrage game: You should divert your money to investments if they yield (e.g.) 7% but your loan is at 6% interest rate.

So, find a couple of good quality GC and build relationships for the long game.

You just have to be cognizant of the rules.In order to play the game you need to know the rules and how others manipulate them.

Gawain Kim I think you’re however old dotloop and docusign is, late to the game.

Mr.Neith yes to both.fix and flips for quick cash and buy and hold to build up a solid portfolio.

If your really 100% in the game .

Fund your first deal or two yourself, get some experience, build a portfolio of successful projects, and then lenders will be more willing to lend to you.If you can't put up the funds, I would recommend either getting a decent down-payment (20-40%) from friends or family, or finding another investor to partner with on the deal (he puts up cash, you put up equity), or worst case, wholesale the deal.

Hello, Im just getting started in the game and I just want to know a general list of what to look for when i'm buying my first deal.

So I'm fairly new in this game.  

@Jason GottFor smaller loan amounts ($50K and under) you may find more success with portfolio lenders like small local banks and credit unions.
