I noticed that some people here who do deals, live in areas that have properties, for example single family homes valued at 50,000 to 100,000. These kind of prices require much lower down payments, thus much more affordable to jump in the game.
My question is what are everyone's thoughts on someone getting into the business in areas that tend to offer real estate at higher rates such as starting at 300k to 400k. These require steeper down payments.
I have seen success stories, where some have put out 5k to get into the business, but if one does not live in a lower valued area, this doesn't seem possible.
What are your thoughts on getting started in a market area where values are higher and require steeper down payments. Yes, there is always creative financing, such as including seller financing, but this will not bring down the down payment to 5k.
