Real Estate has become a huge interest of mine, and I know this is a good time to buy some and make positive cash flow. I have my goal set on purchasing some real estate for rental purposes. Being that I am a college student, I don't have the funds to purchase a six-figure house or apartment. I have been looking into foreclosures for this reason. I defintely do not have the qualifications to get a loan from the bank, so my goal, at this point, was to get a loan from my father. With this said, I guess my main question is what the purchasing of real estate consists of. You mentioned insurance and obviously the mortgage...are there always closing costs, etc etc...what are the main "costs" that need to be covered monthly. I hope this can be clarified for me! Thanks Hey Troy,

I would also be interested in the creative financing of the down payment, is this a future article? Thanks for the great info!

Currently I don't have the cash to put 20% down for an investment property, but I know this is the perfect time to buy and do not want to miss the opportunity. I want to rent properties for the most part, not flip them. I'll be looking for your next post. Thanks for the help! Hi Troy,

I would also add that before you enter into an investment, no matter how safe, you make sure you can afford it even if it fails. Gauge the positives and negatives and invest wisely; take the time and do your homework and figure out which option is best for you. Remember if something sounds too good to be true, it often is, so don't be afraid to dig as deep as possible. Great advice about investing.
