In this episode, I break down exactly how you can start investing in real estate even if you don’t have much money. I share my own story of getting started with almost nothing, including how a totaled Harley unexpectedly became my first down payment.

I walk through several beginner-friendly strategies like VA loans, FHA loans, house hacking, and other owner-occupied financing options that let you get in the game with very low cash. I talk about how these tools helped me secure my first 13 doors while rarely putting more than 6% down. My goal is to show how realistic and attainable your first deal can be once you understand the financing landscape.
