@Denise Evans - Thank you for your contributions on this topic! My partners and I are new investors in AL, and would love to connect with either yourself or a recommended attorney in AL. When you have a moment, would you mind sending over contact information for either yourself or those you recommend? v/r, Justin

Hello All,

After saving and studying for over 2 years, I have been able to come up with $15k for RE investing. I have some markets and strategies in mind, but I'm not completely sold on one in particular. Would love to get any advice from anyone about the best way to get started in RE investing with $15k. I created a blog post 9 months ago about starting with $5k and everyone pretty much said that I needed to save a bit more. Is $15k enough to start? What do you think are my best options?

Thank you!

Justin

Hello All, 

After saturating myself in "information" for the past year and a half, I would like to get my hands dirty in real estate. I live in an overpriced market and after reading David Greene's book on long distance real estate investing, I am targeting the TX, Indianapolis, FL, Ohio, markets. I would like to either BRRRR or purchase a SFR and scale up over time.

My initial struggle is figuring out financing. I have about $5k in savings. My primary residence should be able to get me a decent HELOC (not sure if I can tap into it yet). I have only been living here for 5 months but the house was appraised very high and I bought it at a great price. Keep in mind I live in New York (expensive market).

I am also open to hard money lending. Looking for any advice or suggestions. 

Thank you!
