Hi, as the title suggest I am new. I have read and read and read but have not actually jumped to make a deal. In far to many ways I feel as though I am not remotely knowledgeable enough to start. That and my low credit score and the inability to gather enough money. And while yes I have seen it a million times that I can become an investor with out either of those, I have read elsewhere where that is a contradiction. I have always dreamed of owning rental units to have a passive income. And this is still my main goal, short from that I wouldn't mind wholesaling or flipping. Oh and I am here in San Antonio, nice to meet all you!

The big question is how bad do you want this. As a grown up you have to make serious life decisions everyday. This should be one of the biggest. You either have to cut back on expenses or increase your income. By doing one or both of those you will increase your cash in hand. I hate to say it, but SACRIFICE should be a key word in your life to get to increased income and decreased expenses.

Look up driving for dollars. Do some reading on direct mail marketing. Those both go hand in hand and will help you create some income. Go to some free REIAs in the area to see what others are doing.
