You've got very little savings, almost no credit history, and you want to buy a rental property. Most people would tell you to wait, but today, we’re giving you clear, actionable steps you can take toward getting that first property under contract!
Welcome back to another Rookie Reply! Today, we’re answering three questions that cover the anatomy of a first deal: where the money comes from, where the deal comes from, and what it will really cost you.
First, suppose you have no money or credit. Can you still invest in real estate? Another investor wants to know if wholesalers are worth using, and finally, we’ll hear from an actual wholesaler who’s looking for the best ways to estimate rehab costs so he can deliver deals investors actually want to buy!
Tony explains why finding great real estate deals is the number one tool every rookie needs in their toolbelt, and Ashley shares a wholesale real estate strategy that nobody in the industry is using yet!!

What would you do if you had to start your real estate portfolio over with little money and no experience? We’d do it a lot differently the second time around!
Ever made a money decision you'd give anything to redo? You can't rewind the clock, but you can try again, even with a full-time job and a full house!
Pulling equity out of your home to buy your next rental can feel like free money, but it isn't. Whether you use a HELOC or a cash-out refinance, if you don't run the numbers the right way, it can eat up your cash flow…fast. But if you get it right, the equity you've already built can fund your next down payment without draining your savings, while growing your portfolio!
Thinking about investing in long-term rentals? Finding the property is only half the battle. Getting it rent-ready, landing great tenants, and keeping everything running smoothly is where successful landlords get it right. So today, we're flipping the script and bringing Ashley into the hot seat to share exactly how she does it, and the costly mistakes to avoid along the way!
Most rookies think you need dozens of rentals before you can walk away from your job. But what if the fastest way to replace your income didn’t require building a huge portfolio?
