Hello Bigger Pockets family,

I have weekends available to help any investors that need an extra hand with their business, I want to get my hands dirty by helping out, I have 5 years as appraiser experience. Now I am a software developer looking to begin investing. I can help with property values and rental asking prices. I am also bilingual. Eventually I am looking for mentor-ship but I understand we all have to pay our dues at the beginning. Just willing to help, I love anything related with real estate, I wish to get involved asap, Thanks :) I live in Wesley Chapel, Fl but I can move easily all over the Tampa, Fl area.

Hello Bigger Pockets family,

Here is my current situation, my current credit is in the mid's 500's , I have income close to the $90's / year, but no money down.

I will have access to maybe $7k by next year. My desire is to start buy and hold investment asap. I know the house hacking concept but 

we rent in a really nice neighborhood and we have no plans for buying primary residence, I was want to start rentals buy and hold for 

passive income later refi and get the next one ans so on.... I can get my credit to mid 600's in the next 6 months since I have been paying 

debt and dealing with creditors. I have this big dilemma.... I see myself taking a while for getting 20 to 25% down and house hacking it is 

not in the picture. Can you guys give me guidance so I can get started in my current situation ? Thanks :)
