New to investing in real estate
Hey guys, my name is Johnny, 26 years, and live in Los Angeles, CA. I recently read rich dad poor dad and it really got me interested in investing in real estate. I don't have much money saved ($10,000) and I sit with a bad credit score of 640. I can currently save $1,500-$2,000 a month. I also have the maximum amount given on a VA Loan which I was thinking of getting multi-family home. I was wondering if anyone could give me some information, guidance, and recommend me some good books.
Should I be saving a certain amount of money before I get started or should I start with my VA Loan? Thank you for your help.
