Or you can get with 4 brehs (or however many) and start a Real Estate Fund and go to a bank with that
4 brehs each putting in 5K is 20K... not too sizeable of a down payment, but decent for a bank to want to fund you with 4 people as collateral
You then switch shifts managing the property, and you each collect 3K a month. The loan payment on 400K with 20 down is probably around 3K a month, so if you round up and pay 4K a month, you and the brehs are each making 2K a month on just this flip
Do that a few times and you and your friends are now managing and owning 6-7 properties making money collecting rent.
