You could partner with someone to decrease the upfront costs for you.

It just takes persistence and putting lots of potential opportunities through the deal flow pipeline.

These are the marketing packages created for each investment opportunity and typically go through everything from the business plan to the financials to comps, and much more (I'm happy to share some closed deal decks; just message me).You'll start to see how different sponsors lay out their business plans, and what they look for in a deal.

Our firm does all the above for many of our new and seasoned investor clients so if we can help, please let us know and regardless, we would welcome the opportunity to provide you input and our experience to help you get rolling.Greg

You would never have to work again.You could look for large multifamily properties to purchase but the market is so hot for them right now that it could take a long time to buy one of them.There is a huge opportunity right now in the 1-4 unit space because there are so many properties available. 

I'm from the SouthCoast area of Massachusetts and I'm interested in multi-family investment properties, and potential flip opportunities mainly in the greater New Bedford/Fall River area.

This usually has lower interest than a HELOC.The conventional loan may suit you just fine, but being able to make a cash offer can give the opportunity of buying at lower price point and avoiding some of the closing costs that come with financing and underwriting.

Both of these would be decreased by vacancy rates, but they are both pretty good.So the question is "do you have other investment opportunities that would yield you a higher return on your money?"

I'm struggling to estimate the increase or decrease in property taxes each year.

So, I'm very interested in prospect of using a portion of my net worth to invest in real estate now before this opportunity is lost (i.e. from not being able to get a mortgage, or at least as good of one, post-quitting)*.So, I'm looking to try to acquire my first rental property during the week of 7/3-7/10 - which is when I'll be in the area I'm looking to invest in, and be living long-term starting in August (aside from traveling 90% of the year).I've watched a handful of YT videos and read some blogs on real estate investing in the last day, but I'm looking for any quick advice that might make a big difference.
