23: From Dave Ramsey Disciple to No-Money-Down Real Estate Investor with Sarah Brandenberger | Bigger Pockets Podcast

Interested in real estate investing... but wary of taking on debt?
That's the situation Sarah Brandenberger found herself in, and today shares her journey from a staunchly anti-debt "penny pincher" to a creative financier raising private money!
Sarah also gives us the goods on portfolio loans – including a ninja tip that allowed her to tap the equity in multiple properties and use those funds to take advantage of a smokin' deal. You'll learn what documents to bring when asking for a loan – whether you're meeting with a bank or a private individual. And Felipe throws in a Home Depot shopping hack for good measure.
