Cash/Credit Score Needed to Start

[Chelsea Huebner]

Hi All,

I am trying to get my self set up to be able to start investing.

Do you have a general rule of how much cash to have in savings or what your credit score should be above before starting out? 

Also, I have not yet read a lot on the private lenders. How do you go about finding one in your area when you are ready?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
