Post: I have Bad credit and 40k saved want to invest in real estate

@Darnell Hunter Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in real estate.

I feel that credit scores are reflections of an individual's habits. What you do with the small is what you will do with the big. This will carry over into real estate investing.

So while you can use "creative financing" to invest with a bad credit score, those habits will migrate over into your investing activities and the 40k may go up in smoke.

I suggest deeply reflecting on the decisions, circumstances, or habits that caused the bad credit score and replace those habits before you do anything with real estate.

It's not the get rich quick BP answer but it is the answer that will help you succeed over the long term.

Good luck with your goals.

Hello! @Brendan Avila

Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciated

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
