Breaking into the market in Idaho

[Account Closed]

I have spent the last few months pouring over BP forums, podcasts, and real estate books, and I still am just not sure where to begin. 

I work about 60 hours a week and make good money but I am very interested in either the buy and flip or multi-family investing. 

Where do I begin? 

I have a small savings (about 5k) but am not eligible for a FHA loan and can't afford the 15-20% down payment required in a conventional loan. I see such great properties come and go but I just can't afford the down payment.

I've spoken with lenders but can't seem to find anyone to work with me. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks!
