Let’s say you’re starting from scratch—no network, no prior deals, just $10K to work with. How would you use it to break into real estate? Would you wholesale, partner up, buy a small rental, or go all in on marketing?

Curious to hear what strategies you’d use in today’s market! Drop your thoughts below

I would invest in getting your real estate license and then start cold-calling and trying to find deals personally. From there you will find deals for investor clients, make commission and learn the ropes

Yeah, that’s definitely a solid route, especially for someone looking to learn the ropes and build connections early on. Getting your license gives you access to deals and commissions while you figure out the investing side.

Cold calling it’s a grind. But if you can push through, it’s a great way to sharpen your skills and spot real opportunities.

If was thrown into a completely different market with zero connections and 10k in my pocket? I would wholesale 100%.

I would buy all the hardware I would need for communications.

Research my area and start pulling list of preforeclosures, high equity etc. Get around 10,000-20,000 records start with. Spend money on a triple line dialer system and skip tracing.

Cold call 8-10 hours a day, go to meet ups when available, start reaching out to buyers in my new area via FB, BP, reddit and other platforms. Building a cash buyers list and reaching out to buyers who have an existing portfolio and have made a purchase in the last 6 months.

I would also hire an additional 2-3 VAs to help me with calls after my first week of cold calling. That $10k should last for 3-4 months of marketing in which case I would already be closing on my first deal within 3-6 weeks of outreach almost guaranteed.

Reinvest as I go, delegate and streamline the model.

You’ve got a solid game plan, wholesaling is a smart move with $10K. Focusing on pre-foreclosures, high-equity lists, and building a strong buyers list is a great way to get deals rolling. Putting systems in place early on makes all the difference!

Totally depends on the market, and the environment factors. If this was 2019 I would put a DP on a small home in midwest or SE and househack. Now in today's rate environment I would probably use that money to learn skills or go to a course or get a license (real estate license, lending license, etc). Those skills will make you infinitely more than any rental property right now.

For the sake of answering the question, I would probably partner with someone and get into a flip or a development project of some sort and JV. You can fast track your learning by partnering with someone more experienced and seeing how they analyze deals and operate.

Great point, Clayton! Investing in knowledge and partnerships can definitely fast-track success. Have you done any JVs recently in this market?

Hey Amir,

Great question—high interest rates have definitely forced a shift in strategy. A lot of investors I work with are focusing more on creative financing rather than relying on traditional lending. Seller financing and Subject-To deals are becoming way more common, especially with sellers who don’t want to drop their price.

Another approach that’s working well is targeting underperforming properties—places with below-market rents, high expenses, or poor management. That way, even with higher rates, you can still force appreciation and create solid returns.

Raising private capital and structuring partnerships has also been key. With the right setup, it’s possible to make deals work without being completely tied to bank loans.

What strategies have been working for you in Miami?

Great insights, Arman! I'm definitely seeing the same trends here in Miami. Seller financing and Subject-To deals have been key strategies, especially with sellers hesitant to drop prices. I'm also leveraging MLS properties sitting 90+ days and reaching out to realtors to see if their clients are open to creative financing options.

Another angle I’ve been working on is targeting absentee owners and landlords struggling with high expenses—many are open to offloading properties if the terms make sense. Raising private capital has also helped structure better deals without being too dependent on bank financing.

One thing that’s been a game-changer for me is using AI to automate outreach and follow-ups with realtors to uncover more creative finance opportunities. It’s helped me stay ahead of the competition and focus on closing the best deals.

I wasted thousands on cold callers and VAs—only to deal with bad leads and rising costs.

Imagine never worrying about generating leads, ever again. What if you could secure 1- 5 extra deals each month—without the manual work?

With rates staying high, are you shifting your approach? Are you focusing more on creative financing, raising private capital, or just adjusting your offers?

I’ve been seeing more sellers open to Subject-To and Seller Financing as an alternative to dropping their price. Curious what’s been working for you in this market?

As a real estate investor in Florida, I was struggling to keep up with lead responses. We decided to try an advanced AI-powered assistant designed specifically for the real estate industry. It automates lead generation, deal management, and customer engagement through automated texting, ringless voicemails, inbound call management, and lead nurturing.

In just 30 days of using it for follow-ups, our response rates doubled, and we closed 3 deals. Here's what we learned:

Streamlined lead follow-up increased our speed.
Automation helped us focus on the most valuable leads.
The system saved us both time and money, allowing us to close more deals.

✅ I’m looking for colleagues in the industry to try this AI out and see the benefits for yourself. DM me if you’re interested in testing it!
