Advice for newbie

[Pablo Garcia]

Good morning, I'm posting this to ask for advice on what I should do. I've been interested in REI since February, I've just been reading and trying to learn as much as I can but I really need to take action. My goal is to have my first deal before December 31st 11:00pm.

Ive never been much of a saver, I opened a savings account for investing purposes a few months ago and I've been adding 10% of my weekly pay check to it. I would have around $700 but I decided to get a BP pro account. So at the moment I have over $500, what would you guys do if you were me with it? Keep saving? Use it on marketing? 

My interests are mostly fix and flip but I wouldn't mind some buy and holds. I just really want to get started already. I went driving for dollar 2 weekends ago, I want to go at the recommended times during the week but I work 7-5 everyday. I also showed up one morning at home Depot before they opened as per j. Scott and there was no one there. PLEASE HELP!
