Most people assume that investing in real estate requires a lot of money. But this isn't necessarily true. While it does not hurt to have savings, it is not a pre-requisite. Unlike with many other types of investments, you can start your real estate investment journey with very little. The fact of the matter is that every day, countless real estate investors conduct business in the United States with very little money. How do they do that? Easy. They use a proven system, and anybody can do it. What is the difference between you and them? They know what strategy to put in place depending on the characteristics of the property and on the specifics of the market.
In this book, David Berman, the author of several books on investment ideas and strategies and an experienced real estate investor himself, goes step by step through the twelve most important real estate investment strategies that successful real estate investors use to invest with very little or no downpayment money and explains, in clear terms, how deals can be structured. In the twelve chapters of his new book, Berman covers: "subject to" transactions, hard money lending, owner financing, lease-options, exchanges, partnerships, zero or no money down mortgages, downpayment assistance programs, "good neighbor next door" program, PLI, equity sharing and seller's second.
