Taking the first (maybe second) step! All experienced RE investors how is this done?

[Cory Shannon]

Just purchased my first home, small investment property with the goal of flipping or renting in mind. Got into the home for as cheap as possible, in order to save cash for property number two. After all the paperwork is done we have 11,000 left, not enough to buy another rental yet. About to be a single income family of four, even with a six figure job saving is not easy when providing for a family.

My question for all the pros out there is what are some actual concrete proven ways I can get another ten grand quick without saving for another year and a half?

I.E. how do I get into the next property fastest?
