Getting started on my first property (house hacking)

[Joshua Bates]

I’m a newbie to investing in real estate and trying to educate myself daily. I’m 24 with roughly 15,000 savings and a 720 credit score. I have a few properties that I have my eye on within the range of $15,000- $30,000. One thing I can say about myself is that I lack the experience in knowledge about budget for the rehab. Should I have a contractor view the property with me so he could give me the number on the rehab? Also, what process would you feel is best for me to buy the property? Looking that I don’t have much money to put down and I’ll like to rehab the property myself
