How to start investing in real estate

  • TurboTenant presents five common real estate investing methods, including house hacking, rental properties, flipping, REITs, and crowdfunding as of 2025.
  • Many people hesitate to invest because they assume high upfront costs are required or they are unsure how to start, despite options with low capital needs.
  • Direct investing involves buying physical property, requiring significant down payments up to 30%, while indirect investing includes REITs and crowdfunding platforms with much lower entry costs.
  • House hacking uses an FHA loan with 3.5% down, enabling owners to reduce housing expenses as tenants cover part or all of the mortgage, making it a simple, legal entry method.
  • Despite market risks and potential platform failures in crowdfunding, real estate investing offers income streams, tax benefits, and portfolio diversification opportunities with scalable investment approaches.
