Hi, I'm new to real estate investing with no properties yet. 

I am most interested with the BRRRR strategy, which I know needs a large amount of upfront capital. I'm looking to invest in central Ohio and believe I will need roughly $120,000 - $150,000 in capital to execute a successful BRRRR. Currently, I have the vision to raise the capital on my own with no Lonas or creative financing. After 4 months of overtime, side gigs and putting every dollar away I can, I have under $10,000 saved up. At this current rate it looks like raising this much capital would take 3+ years.

I fully understand real estate investing is not a "get rich quick" scheme and good things take time but I am eager to get started as soon as possible. Also, central Ohio is set to boom in the next 3-5 years and I would hate to miss this opportunity.

Questions to the readers:

1. What type of job/ side gig should I consider to raise capital faster?

2. Should I consider getting into house flipping first and build capital through profits on the flips? 

3. Any other advice would be appreciated 

Thank you in advance for your suggestions. 
 

Hello, this is my first post on forums and I think it goes without saying that I am new to the real estate game.

While searching around for potential BRRRR deals on different websites, I am either finding properties in need of full rehab (which I'd like to stay away from on my first few deals) or finding properties that look to have good potential but have current tenants already renting.

My questions are: When buying a property with a current tenant, do you acquire them automatically? What if you want to BRRRR, do you evict them, or set them up with temporary housing until rehab is complete if they agree to pay the increased rent? Does a BRRRR require you to buy a property with no current tenants?

Thank you in advance for your knowledge and suggestions on this topic.
