Depends on what Lane you want to be in..  

Some renovations loans out there but the rates and prepays can be painful.  

Depending on the country I would first see if any local banks will loan to Americans. 

Their interest rates will be higher and they collect origination fees so the purchase price of the property is key and determining your ARV. 

Hey @Molly Jones, so this is something I wouldn't participate in personally. 30 year leases in the US (or 100 year leases etc) can be pretty dicey depending on where they are.

Hey Chris - it depends on what your goals are.

Depending on your office location, co-working spaces may open you up to more 'walk-in' business than any storefront or traditional office space.- Evaluate the best tech platforms to subscribe to. i.e. skiptracing, RE data sites, CRMs, etc.- Create Standard Operating Procedures (w/video) for every repetitive task on the admin, sales, and marketing sides of the business.

You are getting into a lot of what-if's and "it depends."

Currently, I'm only offered 27 hours of work per week at an average/below-average pay rate, which isn't nearly enough to save for a down payment or qualify for a loan.I've tried selling belongings to generate extra income, but it's not sustainable in the long run.

.- Only allows Rate/Term but we could add a HELOC on top of it to access cash in this instance up to 95% CLTV.Long story short, there are ways but you'd have to get creative and be over 62.
