How do I best leverage cash flow from my full-time job?
I've read a lot about the importance of cash flow to keep you afloat, and how to buy property with as little money down as possible. A lot of this seems to be targeted at people who have minimal money or income to start with.
My savings are pretty modest for my age (~$50K in my mid-30s), but I have a pretty good job and live frugally leaving me with ~$3,000-$4,000 added to my savings each month.
I assume this gives me an opportunity to scale up faster (once I know what I'm doing), but are there specific strategies I should be looking for to best turn my situation into more money in my pocket? Or are the rules pretty much the same?
