Two examples are owner (or seller) financing which lets you bypass a traditional mortgage, and subject-to deals in which you take over the owner’s existing mortgage.2) There are times when it will be beneficial to use lines of credit to fund your real estate business quickly, such as when doing renovations. Doing this responsibly comes simply down to tracking expenses and staying disciplined enough to stay within your numbers.3) The faster you learn to screen tenants, the faster your investment portfolio will grow. Joseph is able to self-manage all 65 of his units by having tenants that pay rent on time, using RentRedi to systematize payments and maintenance requests with little-to-no effort on his part.Get a free Landlord Insurance Quote from Steadily hereGet our new merch- https://blackrealestatedialogue.com/collections/allAccess all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.comDownload my free guide Top 5 Down Payment Assistance Programs- https://bit.ly/dpassistance1Get my New E-book How to Build Wealth in a Recession- https://bit.ly/bredrecessionguideLearn how to invest out of state- https://www.outofstatemoney.com/  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
