where to begin

[Brittany B.]

Y'all,

Bigger pockets is SO real estate investment heavy. All I hear from everyone is the best time to buy real estate is now. I am ready to buy now, but I only have $10,000 in emergency funds, $14,000 in stocks, $75,000 in my 401K, and a few thousand dollars in my checking account.

I am an RN so I can always work overtime, but it's at the expense of my mental health.

Should I use the $14,000 in stocks as a down payment for a house? If I try to save more money for a house down payment and more emergency funds, It will take me many more years. Who knows what the market will be. I currently live with my brother and pay very little in living so I am giving myself a few more months to save a few more thousand dollars.

Where do I begin?
