Upper 600 credit score, 10k cash and a 9-5!

[Bruce Dailey Jr]

hi guys new to BP and real estate investing as a whole. Been looking at a few strategies and think flipping suits me best! I'm lookin to get in the field this summer! By that time i will have an upper 600 credit score, 10k cash reserve, and still working my 9-5, I'm also a first time home buyer. Thoughts on the best possible strategy?

Basically, the first step is learning. Once you feel comfortable,it is time to get pre approved. The bank won't give you investment money man.. not right away. Not in that scenario.. I would recommend this... Find a property below market value. You should buy at most 80% LTV. (loan to value) So if a house is worth 100k, you should pay 80k. Take out an owner occupant loan. You can put down 3.5% through an FHA loan, assuming the property is in good condition. Over the course of a year or so, fix the place up. You make money when you buy. Be sure to capture equity the moment you buy it. Everything else will be a bonus.
