Ready to invest

[Lisa P.]

I found Bigger Pockets about 4 days ago and have made it through 25 podcasts so far and I am pumped!  We bought Carleton Sheets, took classes and have read numerous real estate books and this is the first time I truly felt real estate investing could be a reality.  My husband and I have 2 rental properties that were our former homes and we are now ready to start making more real estate investments, primarily buy and hold.

We just bought our current home this summer so do not have much saved, but we have about $10,000/mo that we are devoting to investing in real estate.  We are currently researching a house and if we decide to make the leap, how should we proceed? So I guess my basic question is: what is the fastest way to come up with $130,000 when you have no connections?  Are we jumping in too soon?

So excited to have found Bigger Pockets and (once I make it through all the podcasts) look forward to getting to know everyone here.
