    Hey Kenzo,

    Welcome! Buying your first rental is a big step and a great way to build long-term wealth. Since you're a few months out, now’s the time to start lining up financing, researching markets, and getting clear on your budget and goals.

    If you're planning to use rental income to qualify, a DSCR loan might be a solid option, it's based on the property's cash flow, not your personal income.

    Happy to support you on your REI journey!

    I’m new here.  I’m looking to buy my first rental property in a few months. 


    Hey Kenzo! Welcome to BiggerPockets! How much cash do you have to get started? I am seeing clients and myself buy deals with less than $10,000 out of pocket and 30-40% COC returns on BRRRR deals!

    Turnkey is also very lucrative with properties being ready to rent at the 1% rule in many locations in Memphis! Let me know if you have any interest in that!
