QUESTION I GET A LOT: "How much do I need to start investing in real estate?" We talked about this on TikTok Live yesterday, and the truth is… probably less than you think. ⭐️Here’s the breakdown by price range:⭐️ 🏠$5K – $15K: Tax Deed Sales & Flipping Empty Lots - Great starting point if you don’t have a ton of capital. - Example: In Marion County, FL, I’ve seen land sell for 8K–12K at tax deed auctions. Investors then resell for double once the title is cleared. - Watch out: These properties can come with liens, code violations, or unpaid taxes. Always do a due diligence search (O&E report). Resource: Check your county clerk auction page or sites like Bid4Assets.com. 🏠$20K – $70K: Foreclosure Auctions with Hard Money Loans - If you’ve saved a bit more, this opens up bigger properties. - Example: On Auction.com, a home in Georgia sold for 180K. With 15% down through a hard money lender, you’d only need about 27K to secure it. The lender covers rehab and closing. - With 30K in capital, you could realistically play in the 150K–600K price range. Resource: Auction.com, Hubzu.com, Xome.com. Check our “Real Estate Resources” guide in the classroom tab for more. 🏠$100K+: County Foreclosures, Direct-to-Seller, Commercial - With cash, you’re in the strongest position. - Example: A friend bought a county foreclosure for 120K cash and flipped it in 4 months for 210K. Because he paid cash, he avoided lender inspections and delays. - Cash also lets you go direct-to-seller and make strong offers—this is how many investors scale into rentals or commercial. Resource: County foreclosure lists/sites, Propwire.com ✅ Takeaway: You don’t need a quarter-million in the bank to get started. Real estate has entry points for every budget—you just need to pick the strategy that matches your capital. ❓QUESTION FOR YOU: Which range do you fall into right now? And which strategy are you leaning towards—tax deeds, foreclosures, or direct-to-seller?
