I want to start investing in real estate

[Mary Woodman]

I am attending a 3-day workshop at the end of the month called Flip For Life Real Estate Workshop. Right now I am devouring any and all real estate investing material I can get my hands on. The goal I have set for myself is to buy my first property in 6 months. I am wanting to get into flipping. I’m currently reading Brandon Turner’s book on little to no money down. What did you veterans find was the best way to creatively finance your first deal? My story is: I have excellent credit, $10K in savings, I’m a stay at home mom who’s baby just started kindergarten (so I have more time than I ever had since starting my family 16 years ago), my husband is a pilot for a major airline and we are currently completely out of debt except for 2 car payments and a mortgage. Knowing all this about me...I need your opinions!! I was a real estate agent for 2 years but at the time couldn’t invest the time needed to build my business. I have basic knowledge from that experience and from buying our own homes over the last 12 years.
