New in Philly suburbs

[John Ratigan]

So guys, I am new to the real estate game. I have been searching for a quality deal for a while now. I see a lot of auction property's everywhere in my area, however, I do not have the kind of cash it takes to buy at an auction. Hard money is for REO's and they are few and far between that are good deals and have money at the end after all the expenses, points, closing costs, rehab budget. Ect. Buying a home at market value or slightly below is no good. (non reo homes)

Wondering how you guys break this barrier down?
