Starting with small savings—creative funding tips?

[Jack Spicer]

Hey everyone,

I’m in college with a steady internship income, solid credit, but limited cash. I’d love to hear how others financed their first rental when funds were tight. What strategies or programs worked best for you, and what would you do differently?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Jack - I've heard people say there's several parts to a deal, one is money/capital, but undoubtedly there is also finding/acquisition the deal as well as the execution/operations of the deal. If you're short on one, you can look to partner with others for the other components. In your case, I would focus on finding/locating deals and provide the "hustle", whereas you lean on others for the cash and ability to secure the loan. Good Luck!
