how much would you save? how long? advice!

[Jonathan Beemer]

Hi BP,
im in the military and am a lower enlisted soldier, so my pay is not the greatest, but i do make the most out of what i get. i save every dollar other than the minimal bills i have. which the money i do save is not a huge amount. so it is taking a while to build up my investment money.

with that being said: how much would you save to invest in RE?
also, how long would you wait for that money to come?
any advice on how to get a head start with the money i do have? ( i plan on partnering with experienced people, as soon as im able too)

im a man of action. But i also believe in being prepared. right now im building my knowledge on every aspect of RE. finding which niche i want to start off with (so far buy and holds, second option would be flips). what other advice would you say to build on at a personal level?

thank you!
