Investing in Real Estate

If you qualify for FHA financing, you can purchase a principal residence for as little as 3.5% down. At the same time, again, if you have enough capital that you're working with, you can use that as down payment or down payments towards investment properties in one or more markets. The key thing is you want to be on the equity train. And if you own property, the more property you own, over time, the more equity you're going to build.
