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.
