Real Estate Investing Newbie

[Jerral Williams]

Good afternoon,

I'm a school teacher in the Houston, TX area, looking to enter into real estate. I would like to begin with a flip to build capital and buy & hold inventory afterwards. The obstacle I'm running into is funding. Can anyone give any advice or helpful tips for a real estate novice like myself? I already have an LLC for the properties as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
