Advice, Luck, and Money

[John Ellis]

So I posted a couple times on this site in the last week and have been pleasently suprised on how awesome it is. So I thought I would continue to ask more questions haha

Here is my current situation and hopefully someone can offer some advice thank you for your time.

I have bad credit because of students loans and owning two homes.(overextended) I am teacher and I own and operate a construction company. I started the company when I was in college and it has kept going but never growing. I have wanted to expand into Real Estate for ever and have the ability to rehab but can not do it because of my credit.

How can I accomplish my goal?
I have little money to invest (around 1000)

What I do have is a passion for real estate, a hard work ethic, passion for learning and an ability to fix and construct anything. I have the experience to rehab home as both of the homes were complete rehabs.

I just want a chance.Where do I start I am tired of posting on meaningless sights with my business plan on networks that charge high fees just to respond to people.

How did you get your start? Because of my little money and bad credit (sounds appealing huh) I understand the prospects are not good but I refuse to stop. Please help any and all suggestions would be helpful

My goal is to create a One Stop Property Shop where I can buy, sell, rent,and manage properties.

Sorry for the length, Have a great day!

Here is the BP resource for Ohio real estate clubs:
http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-clubs/ohio.html

How did I find that? go to the "Local Resources" Menu at the right hand side of this page, and then look for the link to "Real Estate Investment Clubs" ... I suspect the link in the earlier post will be removed ...
