Investing Questions and Getting Started

Peter Rota
Posted

Hello my name is Peter and I'm just getting started in real estate. I've read the ultimate guide to real estate, but still have some questions/ need help with some general info. Does it make sense to find a deal first then get financing or get the financing that works for me and get the deal?

Additionally, say when I close on a place, do you just eat a month or so of rent until you can find tenants, or do you work that into the financing? 

Thanks,

Peter

Get financing squared away first, it's like hunting you have to be locked and loaded or you'll miss out. You just eat it but in my market units rent within a couple weeks.
