About this episode

100% financing for ALL of your real estate deals? Without thousands of dollars saved up, many people assume there’s no way for them to invest in real estate. But that’s far from true. Today, you can fund your entire real estate deal—including purchase price, down payment, closing costs, and rehab costs—using other people’s money!

Welcome back to another Rookie Reply! If you don’t have the funds to invest in real estate, hear Ashley and Tony share their best strategies for getting deals done with creative financing. They also discuss rehab costs and provide a three-step plan for estimating them. Hiring a property manager is a daunting task for any rookie, but our hosts share the biggest red flags to watch out for when vetting a property management company. Finally, they discuss the touchy subject of rental repairs—who’s responsible and how to keep the peace with tenants!
