Newbie investor needing next step help....

So I'm ready (mentally) to make my first multi family investment purchase, but what should I do first? I know I'm going to have to find some non-traditional help getting funded, but I feel my credit score will hurt me. I'm currently sitting between 624-644 FICO score (depending the info source). I am working on getting old negative items removed, which should bring it up drastically. Here is where I need help....

Should I wait for my credit score to come up? Or should I start working on putting together my first investment deal?

Thanks in advance for anyone who comments any suggestions.

@Joseph Turnquist  Hello Joseph.  

1. Get educated.  Where are you going to invest?  What is your buying criteria?  Do you have a team?  What can you bring to the table?  Do you have capital or will you be using OPM?  Check out this site of free content.
