Know Before You Buy
REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) let you invest from $10. House hacking (renting rooms in your primary residence) builds equity while tenants cover your mortgage. Wholesaling requires no capital but significant hustle.
A rental property passes the 1% rule if monthly rent equals at least 1% of the purchase price ($200K property = $2,000/month rent minimum). It's a quick filter for cash-flow potential, not a guarantee.
'The Book on Rental Property Investing' by Brandon Turner, 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' by Kiyosaki, 'The Millionaire Real Estate Investor' by Keller, and 'Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat' by David Greene cover the full spectrum from beginner to advanced investor.
Calculate: Gross Rent - Vacancy (5–10%) - Expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management) = Net Operating Income. Divide NOI by purchase price = Cap Rate. Target 6–8%+ in most markets.
Buyer's market: more homes than buyers — prices soften, negotiating power shifts to buyers. Seller's market: more buyers than homes — prices rise, offers above asking become standard. Inventory levels (months of supply) define which you're in.
Closing costs (2–5% of purchase price), inspection ($300–500), moving costs, immediate repairs (budget 1% of home value/year), property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees if applicable.
