Realistically Speaking...

[Shanda Porter]

As a newbie, how much money is a realistic figure to get started in REI? I know there are many stories of people who have built RE empires srarting with nothing or very little down, but how realistic is that in today's market, and is the only option for this method done through wholesaling or "helping/preying" on those who find themselves in financial trouble with their home?

Look forward to hearing your feedback...thank you.

Thank you @Mary B., no I definitely have my "big girl bloomers" on & not afraid to get my hands dirty for experience is a great teacher, so I'm not looking for hand-holding, but not interested in re-inventing the wheel either. I a firm believer that every man is your teacher & when the student shows up, the teacher will appear...so I'm here & will accept whatever advice is offered - good, bad or indifferent - after that, it's on me to decipher & use what works for me.
