Robert Herrera great sounds like a plan ! I'm also in the process of getting my real estate license to have access to the MLS in the future. I take the test in two weeks.

Robert Herrera thanks great you really got the ball rolling can't wait to get where you are! I'm using the bank to get my first property through a FHA loan and that will build my credit alone with the other things I have going on but, I would like to only do it for that one property. I am just having a little trouble approaching my first deal I've been using Zillow to try and find a home to invest in. I'm not sure how to approach it once I find it. Any advice? What do I say to the listing Agent? What is a good agreement to use between the two of us so we can both make money without spend any/much?

Thank you @Robert Herrera great advice! I was researching starting a LLC to put the homes I purchased in so i don't have so many in my name. Do you think that is a good idea? I talked to a women I work with she once had 10 property's and told me she messed up by putting them all in her name due to them having to pull her credit every time.

Hey, I'm Jameel Tillman. I'm from Charlotte, NC am currently still living here, i"m 24 years of age and work part-time at UPS but, I'm looking to become a full time investor. I have little cash saved up(little under 5K) and a credit score in the mid 500's i know it maybe hard for me to start-out under these conditions but, I'm one of the mostly hardworking and dedicated people on the planet and i know i can make this happen in achieving my dream! any advice, direction, or any type of help is greatly appreciated also, i am willing to put the time in effort into learning and helping. Thank in advance!
