The gurus will tell you that it's easy to buy real estate without any money down (with the exception of the $3000 you need to pay for their course and the $1500/month training, of course). Unfortunately, that isn't the case. There are ways to buy real estate with no money down, but they are few and far between and it's very hard to make a business out of such strategies. That being said, there are great ways to buy real estate for low money down (and occasionally none) that you should take full account of, especially if you don't have a ton of money to start with. -Have Money to Start With -Save and Hold -Flip and Hold -Buy, Move in...

Phillip's Panel: Scaling from 50 to 100 Units 9:45 am EST, Thursday, Dec 3rd, 2020 Andrew's Panel: Alternative Valuation Methods for Single Family Portfolios 11:40 am EST, Thursday, Dec 3rd, 2020 Here we preview Phillip's panel by discussing the difference between scaling and growing. Growing is just getting bigger. Scaling is building the foundation (systems, policies, key performance indicators, hiring and firing decisions, etc.) necessary to handle that growth. If you are going to get to 100+ units, you need to scale. Growing to that size without the systems will drive you crazy! Original YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecOeb71MmWs
