The good news for you is that you reside in an area where people can and will pay a premium for high level design and construction.

Unlike qualifying for a typical mortgage where it's all about income and credit, in this arena it's all about experience.

Hi ChandraIt depends, it this your first investment property or your first primary residence?

What's up, Kevin.I'm from Palm Beach, currently resider in Orlando. 

Since I was in Texas and planned on staying there I found out that I was qualified to take a real estate broker license test and get a license so I took the test and got that license but I never did that full time.  

My name is Dylan and I reside in northern N.J.

I repainted the oak cabinets in my own residence without any prior experience and they came out better than I expected.

Hi @Anthony Diggs  and @Andresa Lobrace do you still qualify for traditional financing?

If I was your age, I would put my money on a five-year cd or until I become more proficient at REI.What about lending your money, you can find out here at BP how to become a lender.I want to learn how to qualify and to use OPM to invest in Real Estate until I could buy with my own money the house of my dreams anywhere I want.
