I would suggest that you find ventures that cost the least to nothing out of your pocket and take the 100K and spend on a night out!!!

One in California, one in Atlanta, and one in Illinois.I work with Hedge Funds with very deep pockets.

I don't have the money to pay for this out of pocket, so I would like to borrow the full amount if possible.

that's just simply cutting costs from your pocket...the Value of the property does not increase by simply "buying low".

Okay , yes I am a super-newbie, yes I know you hate newbie so....Bought my first property for the sole purpose of investing.Not buying my home first and moving out later.Okay paid 190k less 5k closing put 42k down.Interest only mortage 6.875% for the first 10 years/30 year mtg.Filled out a form for section 8 housing.I am going to let weichert find me a tenant because its 20 miles from where I live.I put an ad on craigslist, just hoping for feelers.http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/apa/244007813.htmlSo far nothing, no calls since last thursday, yes I know its only 6 days , but I guess I am nervous about being vacant all winter.I have enough saved that I could pay for the mortgage no problem.But like someone said you don't want a savings account investment where you are putting in all the principle out of your pocket, you want to make money off the rent.Any good tips on finding tenants?

Hello!

I'm a real estate buyer's agent in central Connecticut, landlord, aspiring investor and new blogger on all things real estate.

I'm here to learn about managing my property, buying additional multis in CT an...

I had talked to a real estate agent about it, but have not yet made any offers.My OWN desire would be to get it for about 135 to 150,000 --a 150 mortgage I could afford, with only a little out of pocket each month.

No Money out of YOUR pocket.

Not a real problem if you sell it yourself but if you have to use a realtor the cost is out of your pocket.

I call this site my bible.I've learned so much and I've met a few interesting people.I now feel confident enough to a deal instead of sitting on my couch and reading rei books......THANKS BIGGER POCKETS..
