Hey BP Community!

So, I am currently going thru the loan app process and my "pre-approval" loan amount is looking at about $100K, which I know is tough but not impossible to navigate for initial home purchases.

I am a service-disabled vet, and hoping to qualify for VA Loan so that I can house-hack a multifamily.

Most likely the best strategy for me is going to be networking and partnering. I will be attending my very first BP Networking Event on Wednesday, just to get familiar with the community and forming new relationships.

I also attended my first sheriff sale/auction this past Tuesday, and I was so confused :D, but learned a little bit to see what else is out there.

I am an action-taker/doer, and want to know what other newbies/rookies and seasoned investors/professionals are doing in this current marketplace to make deals happen?

In other news, I am listening to the BP Podcast daily, re-reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and my next readings are Set For Life and How to Invest in Real Estate.

Hello Bigger Pockets Fam! I’m Ashley and new here. I’m super excited to start this whole process.

What sparked my flame, if you may wonder 💭, was passing everything on the pre-approval process, except - income 💰.

I just picked up Brandon Turner’s book The Book on Investing in Real Estate With No (and low) Money Down, and man!!! It is giving me some great pointers and really helping me to develop my action plan.

I am still working on making sure that I can still pass the pre-approval process with traditional banks, but definitely looking into other options to get started and purchase my first property within the next 90 days.

Looking forward to meeting and engaging with other like-minded individuals!
