First Real Estate Investment
Good Morning Bigger Pockets Family, I am from Jackson, Mississippi looking to invest in my first property, preferably a fix and flip since my father has been a painter for 25 years. Because of his experience, he knows plenty of people that he has worked with in the past that I would hire to renovate. I have about 10k and great credit to get started. Any advice? What areas in Jackson should I be looking to start? Should I save more money? Anything I need to be aware of? Please do not hesitate to voice your opinion!
