Where would you start if you we me?

Hello Everyone,

I have been reading this forum for awhile now and alot like it on the internet. I am blown away by how supportive and helpful everyone is here.

I am very interested in starting to invest in the my area (Rochester, NY). Being brand new I have no idea where to start. I was wondering if I could pick your brains on some great starting points.

A little about me I have a few thousand in cash, a bankruptcy 2 1/2 years ago, my credit rating is in the high 600's now. I have a ton of drive to succeed. Is there any hope for someone like me with poor credit history?

I hear and read the stories about people like me suceeding but I never know exactally what to believe. Any helpfull advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you - MJ

Of course you can succeed!! The drive is the most important, imo. You'll find good ideas on here. Partner up with someone that has the money, find owner financing, do a lease option and find a buyer. There will be lots of ideas if you search on here. Good luck. Rich.
