Buy a two family rental in Scranton Pennsylvania area, where I live, for about $50,000 cash. That building should be making about $1,200 a month gross rent.
It'll be able to afford a management company, all hard cost company and everything plus pay mortgage of almost + - $50,000 plus give you some cash flow every month
and then you can use the money from that mortgage to make improvements on your home. Boom, both things done at once

you could start w small turnkey investing (my area of pa offers 15% cap rate after all pads and expenses)
Or use the equity for hard money loans to other Investors. Paying 5% (or whatever ) on your heloc and making 10-14% from an investor

okay thanks :-) I'll check it out anyway maybe it'll work for some future opportunity
first of all, thank you for your service. Secondly, with $10,000 down, you can actually get a flip done in my region using a hard money lender. Many of our flips only require a total investment of about $50,000 and will return a profit of about 20 when all is said and done. I work in northeastern Pennsylvania. Of target wholesale price is about 120000 dollars with many home selling just plus and minus of 100 after rehab. So if you're in soon doing things like that, I'm always open to pointing you in the right direction or possibly doing a JV
