The 25% Down Payment Trap for New Investors
New real estate investors think the only way to build a rental portfolio is buying renovated properties with 25% down, but that cash runs out fast. Even if the deal cash flows, it can take years to rebuild enough capital for the next down payment. That's why serious investors use multiple tools: BRRRR, seller financing, traditional loans, and creative deal structures. If you want to scale a real rental portfolio instead of getting stuck after one or two properties, you need more than one strategy.
