As we all know, the market is crazy right now with rates and all but I have been wanting to start investing.

Hello all,I am not yet an investor, but have been listening to podcast for months trying to best determine how I can start the process.

I've been listening to bigger pockets since January of this year and after exploring all the different avenues to get started I have decided to test the waters with rental arbitrage.

I figured I'll need about $100-$150k total to start.

I started investing this past fall and my start has been ROUGH.

Nothing down and subject to was a LOT easier 45 years ago when I started investing in real property…….    

Perks of this deal that keep drawing me back:#zero down,   #small cashflow from start,  #average cashflow potential after renovations, #Quickly add substantial numbers to my portfolio.Thank you for your comments.

@Collin H.With credit card defaults and auto defaults on the rise as well as overall debt - people will start tightening the belts and first thing they will get rid of is spending on travel and vacations etc So reading this I am not surprised - how has 2024 been compared overall to last year ?

or will it start to die down?

Start in onsite leasing, spend some time doing maintenance, pitch in everywhere.
