Financing your first rental

I am 22 years old and me and my wife have been married for a little under a year now. We are interested in buying our first rental OR flip. We don't have a ton of funds so I would like to connect with someone that could possibly help us brainstorm ways to raise capital for this investment. Any help is appreciated, we are located in Kentucky.

HI Blake,

You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.

There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible. Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy. This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive. (Max vacated rents - your monthly mortgage payment) = +/- net cashflow. Happy to connect and assist you in your real estate investing journey.

Happy to connect if you are interested to expand your portfolio
