Advice for newbie, single mom

[Darcie Sepko]

Just became a single mom this year, currently unemployed and wondering how to invest my total savings into a multi-family property. I have a significant amount to invest but lack stable income which would disqualify me for refinance?  Transitioning to employment in the real estate field seems like a good idea to educate myself.  just wondering how to start while taking care of a little one.  Currently living in an expensive location.

Hi Darcie!  I know where you are because I have been there.  There’s a lot of avenues to travel to actually begin investing.  I would start by getting as much education and connecting with a real estate meet up group or network in your area.  How you considered wholesaling?  That’s how I began.  Hopefully this will give you some insight and others can chime in to give some direction..    Congrats on making the decision to go into real estate and good luck in your endeavors.
