In the end I'm aiming to continue this game for the long haul, not interested in selling, only acquiring. 

On the other hand, I am open to learning new strategies, on methods of acquiring properties with or without funds.

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $180,000 Sale price: $220,000 My wife and I acquired this property from an off-market wholesaler in December.

Most never used cleaning products at all or ever felt the need to pick up their stuff or do dishes . 

If you find you're unable to get something right away due to your credit or income situation, you may still be able to acquire your first place creatively via a lease/option, seller financing or buying a place 'subject-to' the existing financing, plus there's always hard or private money however either of the last two would require having 'take-out' financing lined up in advance, which might be a stumbling block.
