How Do I Get Start Up Money ?
Hi
I am fairly educated on real estate from an agent side. I have interest in investing but i'm confused on the financial side. Whats a good way to get start up money for a low deal ?. How did you get your start up for your first deal ? . I'm not looking for something big just something to get my feet wet.
Thanks for any help.

Number one source is your savings. Spend less than you make and the extra will accumulate.
Get a second job.
Cut expenses.
Sell stuff.
Borrow - personal loan, credit cards, HELOC or cash out refi on a property you already own, 401k loan
