New here, seeking advice!
Hello, I'm just starting my journey into real estate investing, my current deadline for myself to actually start is next year so I'm trying to cram as much information as I possibly can.
One thing I cannot find though is how to turn a profit on renting real estate with a mortgage using a 20-25% down payment. I've been playing around on Mashvisor, using their calculator I can't seem to find a way to bring in monthly profits on a mortgaged rental property.
so I guess my question is, what's better? Buying with straight cash or using a lender? If using a lender how do you turn a profit? Is it a matter of negotiating prices or interest rates? Any information is greatly appreciated.
