New Real Estate Rookie

I'm Martin

I'm a full/overtime w-2 income employee. It's been a little more than 2 years to the point that I can possibly qualify a loan but I haven't yet to get a first house. Even if I can, my issue that the loans will be very small I can only afford even a FHA and most houses from where I live are beyond my affordability even a downpayment with all expense combined. I have some questions;

- Until I can get a loan, can I capitalize myself first just to increase my budget for downpayment?

- If there are strategies for no capital and for full/overtime w-2, can wholesaling, house hacking work or anything else can fit as a beginner before I get a first property?
