Starting with 10k cash

[James Simpson]

Hey everyone! 

I'm a newbie and I'm looking to invest either in a rental property or to flip a home which do you recommend? Also which is easier to come by? I currently have 10k cash and want to know what are my best options and the first few steps I should be taking. I've recently been looking to Craigslist to see if I could find any places for a bargain price but I've come up empty I currently don't have a job so that's one issue as far as working with the banks any ideas on how I should start!
