One of the major issues with real estate is you need a substantial amount of money to buy properties. However, if you don't have cash, you invest in the property with a bank loan. Financing property with a bank loan is easy. You need just two things: a fixed asset for collateral and proof of your monthly income. Once you have your property, yo can live in it and same money for rent, and also rent rooms and flats you do use so that you can collect rent. In 10-12 years, when you've paid off your mortgage, you can sell your property for a substantial profit.
