@Robert Leonard I have listened to a lot of the podcast and I have gotten great information from it. I think my biggest obstacle right now finding more money and/or financing with credit that is not so great.

@Phillip Dwyer I do currently do have a conventional mortgage on the property with no equity. The property is in perfect shape and I have no plans on moving from it.

Would I have to go the private lender or hard money route to get started?

@Patrick D. Thank you for the advice. I'm being very cautious in my investing strategy in area.

My name is Jeanette and I’m new to investing in real estate. I’ve been reading and listening to the podcast on BP for time. I've also read a couple of real estate investing books to soak in more info. It's time to pull the trigger and get started. I have a limited amount of funds and just a little confused on where or how to get started.

I currently work a full time job but am looking into transitioning out of that and working on flipping houses full time. I worked as a real estate agent for brief time a couple of years ago so I have the basic understanding of how the real estate world works. I’m looking for more knowledge and a mentor that can show me the basics of real estate investing to get me started. I am willing to work for free in exchange for the knowledge of the in’s and out’s of the business.

In reading through the post on BP, a common suggestion was to locate a local REI group and you can make a lot of the connections you need to make there. Does anyone know of good REI group in the Las Vegas area?

Also, in regards to starting with a limited amount of funds. It this possible? How much do you really need to get started? I currently own my own home and don’t have the best credit so going with conventional bank funding is not an option, or is it?

Any advice to help me get started is welcome. Thanks everyone.
