Hello, I'm in the process of possibly purchasing my first investment property and I'm extremely nervous. They property is currently listed and used as a duplex but was zoned as a quad. Two of the units are currently rented and the plan is for me to purchase the property and re-zone it as a quad and occupy one of the remaining units. My question is has anyone ever dealt with anything like this before and if so, what should I look out for? Thanks for any help/input in advance.

Oh my gosh!! Congratulations!! I hope to join the club soon! 

@Wale Lawal thank you! 

 I am mainly seeking 2-4 multi-family. I am definitely looking to obtain funding for the down payment as well. I don't mind doing some light cosmetic work like painting for my first property but nothing too involved. I don't have a specific area that I'm focused on, something up and coming area that's being turned around might be best, especially for my first deal. Do you have any agents you can refer me to in the Atlanta area?

 Actually, I'm not opposed to house hacking. Thanks so much for the advise, I'll definitely look into it. 

 Thanks so much!

Hi BP family! My name is Ama and I have been wanting to get started with real estate investing for over 10 years now but there has always been something stopping me; not enough capital, credit, no team or connections, fear, etc. This year I made it a goal to purchase my first property and my hope is that with the help of this community, I can make that goal a reality. Where there's a will there's a way, right? If there's anyone who can offer me some advice on the best way to get started with no capital but good credit, that would be great. The thing is that I want to purchase the property through my LLC and my LLC doesn't have any credit yet. Where do begin?

I just want to thank everyone for their advice! @James Enright, I actually had luck with your method but the owners had already changed their number. 

I'll keep at it!

This new program sounds great! My problem is that I have no money to put down. Is that something this program can help with?
