New to real estate

[DJ Dauphin]

Hey I'm new to the real estate and I'm looking to do my first deal within the next few months. Pursuing flipping houses, buy and hold, and mainly building equity through leasing. I'm located in the southern part of Louisiana and Mississippi and trying to do my 1st deal by mid of next month. Any idea where you think a good starting point would be with <10k of cash or should I get a local mentor to shadow and learn from? 

Thanks BP
