I really want to get involved in REI, but don't have enough money yet. From what I've read, I should at least have enough for a 20% down payment, so I'm saving up for that. But what can I do in the meantime? I'm searching for a mentor right now and reading anything I can. I'm looking to get involved in rental properties and/or flipping houses in the Baltimore area.

I don’t know if this was what OP was doing, but in my job working for the government, doing any kind of work for your side business while on the clock is considered a “conflict of interest” and can be a fireable offense. However, OP might have been doing RE strictly on his own time.

@Kelly Claiborne

For me right now it’s a combination of having neither money nor knowledge. I’m trying to work on both. I want to get my hands dirty badly but I am still in search of a mentor and the right deal.

@Michael B.

I am new to investing — why would you say that buying off the MLS was a mistake? Thanks.
