Hello Jonathan,

I really appreciate the thorough and objective answer.  I have heard they are strict on the items that can "stop the deal".   Did you ever pay the $2500 or $3000 they require to be a part of their program or did you just pay the $650 for the evaluation?

Also, how did their calculator compare to Bigger Pocket's calculator?

Thank you in advance!

Post: I have $10,000 cash, a good credit score, where do I start REI?

Hi,

I need help how to start investing in real estate.  I need to know what steps to take.  I have taken positive steps to position myself to invest, but I don't know what to do next. 

I am a real estate agent and REALTOR. I have an excellent credit score. My score is currently 760.  

My goal and desire is to have cash flow sooner rather than later so I think wholesaling houses or flipping houses might be best for me.  Also, I love to see a house transformed into a desirable home.

I do want to do buy and hold, but I don't want to tie what little cash I have up with a long term investment.

I don't have a lot of cash to make a purchase and rehab a property, but I would think my credit could help me get the financing, but I'm not sure. I currently have about $10,000 cash.

Where should I start so that I can make the best of my resources and take some action steps.

Thank you in advance for your advice.
