4 Ways to Fund Your First Property Purchase

Описание: Most people think you need perfect credit, a huge down payment, and a stable W-2 job to buy your first property. That's not true. In this video, I break down the 4 different ways to fund your first real estate purchase so you can figure out which path works best for YOUR situation.

📊 THE 4 FUNDING METHODS:

1. W-2 Employment (FHA Loans)
• 3.5% down payment minimum
• Stable job + decent credit required
• 30-45 days to close

2. Business Ownership (Self-Employed)
• 2 years of business tax returns required
• Add-backs can boost qualifying income 10-20%
• More complex but potentially higher loan amounts

3. Other People's Money
• Hard Money Lending (9-15% rates, 5-30 day closing)
• Lines of Credit (avoid before mortgage approval)
• Private/Family Loans (flexible, no credit check)

4. Seller Financing (BEST for First-Time Buyers)
• No credit requirements
• No income verification
• 10-30% down payment (negotiable)
• 2-4 week closing
• Save $2,000-$4,000 in closing costs
• Requires effort but best terms
