Financing / Borrowing Money to purchase Real Estate
The process is not too complicated. Once a person understands the basic returns on Real Estate Investment Properties they will tend to leverage OPM instead of paying cash. Paying Cash for a property will tie up a large lump sum of cash that could of been invested in multiple other properties.
The Key component is getting a return higher than the interest rate. For Example, getting a loan at 6% you would want to yield a RETURN of 7%+ to see "profit" before taxes.
Unique Situations: First-Time Home Buyers who buy a 4-plex will sometimes not yield a net positive per say. HOWEVER, they live in the complex in one of the units renting the other 3 allowing the tenants to pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes each month providing the owner EQUITY that will later be leveraged in years ahead.
The whole goal as you look long term is having your EQUITY be much higher than debts due. Having your equity also cash flow is a massive perk to the game of "monopoly". They whole goal will be to build your equity and leverage the IRS 1031 exchange program to grow your monthly cash flow higher and higher over the years.
In short, the BRRR method of real estate investing means buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat. That is, you buy a value-add or undervalued property, renovate and rehab it to market standards, get tenants in there, and refinance it based on your new market value to pull out your original cash investment. You can then set up your remote property management system, and then you rinse and repeat.
The most affordable and easiest properties to find are single-family homes and small multifamily properties with no more than four units. This is because anything over 5 units is seen as "commercial" in lenders eyes. The moment you go commercial loan terms, rates, and availability change.
