You don't have to be rich to be a real estate investor.  I invested in realestate the first time with only 5,000 down.  Having excellent credit, of course, helps.  Using someone elses money and making money is the BEST way to leverage your investment!

Welcome to ActiveRain.  If you have any questions I would be happy to try and help.  I'm pretty new myself but, I am still ahppy to help any way possible.

This is an excellent point, and one which agents should mention to clients who may not know how to get started.  I'm currently working with two clients who want to buy two-flats.  Neither knew how to do a financial set up, or conduct due diligence on rents or expenses.  A little bit of help from me and they are on their way.

 

Thanks!

Jeannette,  I've found lenders who also will do 100% investor loans if you have good credit.  At least a few months ago.

Hi Tim,

Yes, I have also found lenders who will do 100% investor loans as well as interest only loans.  I am careful about recommending them....it depends on the client.

I'll bet those 100% loans are long gone by now.  I would caution anyone that is getting into investment property with 100% financing.  There is no room for error.

I absolutely agree!  Though you can with good credit find these loans out there...it is not for everyone.  I would caution even savvy investors about this.

Thanks for stopping by!
