Stuck on Rental #1? How to Buy Your NEXT Property (With Limited Cash)

Episode #679 *Stuck at one rental property?* Maybe you spent _years_ *saving for that first down payment,* and now, your funds are depleted. Where do you go from here? Not to worry—we’ll show you how to get past this common rookie roadblock and *buy your second, third, and fourth deals!* Welcome to another *Rookie Reply!* Ashley and Tony are back with more questions from the BiggerPockets Forums, the first of which is about *scaling when you’re out of cash.* Some rookie investors throw their entire savings at that first investment property, so do you really have to start over to buy the next one? Maybe you don’t! We share a few strategies that will help you *grow your real estate portfolio faster.* *Insurance premiums have risen* in many markets, but what do you do when they _actually_ kill your deal, *wiping out any potential cash flow?* Abandon the deal entirely? Go back and negotiate with the seller? We also hear from an investor who wants to build an Airbnb business and take advantage of the *short-term rental tax loophole,* but is struggling to pick a market. We’ll help them narrow down their options!
