Does being a real estate investor seem unimaginable to you?
Most people have this idea that real estate investing is off the table for them.
It costs too much money. I could never afford it. There's no way I can put 20% down.
Here to give us the low down are two of my great friends - Allegra Moet Brantly of Factora Wealth and Stephanie Douglas of Open House Austin. These two women are doing incredible work to make building wealth and home buying more accessible.
Today we’re talking about how to consider if buying is right for you, how to house-hack, what a good deal actually looks like, and how to come up with a real estate strategy. We also bust some myths on what a down payment has to look like and the hype surrounding house flipping.
By the end, you just might realize that real estate investing is more attainable than you think.
Enjoy!
