Trying To Get My Foot In the Door

[Jerral Williams]

Good Afternoon,

I am a school teacher in the Houston area trying to get into owning rental property.  I'm having a difficult time getting my foot in the door. There have been several properties that I was interested in but each one required 15K or more on the deposit, which I don't have on a  teacher's salary.  Would anyone have any advice on how to get started with little money down?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Use an FHA loan and owner occupy the property. 3.5% down
