Thanks @Tanner DeHart. I'll definitely pick that up. Sounds like a great read. I just picked up my copy of The Multifamily Millionaire as well. Can't wait to read both... hopefully i'll have a better grasp of this after the fact

Thanks Tanner! The issue is that I don't have much equity on my new home - certainly not enough for a HELOC. I guess I might have to look for private money, but then the next question is how I would get someone to invest / partner when I have no previous deals to show my worth? I know they talk about value add a lot, but i'm not sure what value i bring yet.

Anyone is welcome to chime in on this!

Hey guys!

My girlfriend and I just closed on our first home. We bought a condo for the two of us to live in which has been a wonderful and exciting process. I wanted to house hack but she wasn't loving the idea :/ however, she is extremely supportive of my real estate investment interests and we were looking into purchasing a single family or duplex to rent out.

After buying our house, we have depleted the majority of our savings / reserves. This wasn't a BRRRR angle since it's our own home and was basically turn key with pretty new renovations.

My point is - how can I ask a bank to fund 100% of a real estate investment deal? Even with a deal sheet that shows promising returns, I feel like they would just turn it down unless I had the right strategy. Does anyone have experience asking a bank to fund 100% of a BRRRR deal? If so, how did you go about asking them and what were the little things that made them say yes?

Thanks in advance for all your help!
