Okay, I’m just starting out in this whole real-estate investing venture, Needless to say, I don' have a clue as to what I'm doing. I'm giving myself a goal of 30 day to generate some sort of income. Of course, my credit is bad and I don't have any money to invest.

My dilemma is, I’m not sure what path should I take.

Should I start off first with bird dogging?
This way I can make some money without really have to spend a dime of my own money and seems like the safest and easiest way to make money.

Or
Should I wholesale a property?
I can potentially earn a large sum of money, if I find a property to put under contract within the next 30 days and then assign it to a buyer, but I'm still struggling to understand to logistics of doing this.

Last
There is a property right next door to me. It’s in foreclosure for about 19,000. I knew the former tenants who was renting. They have been gone for about 2 months now. I am aware that there are some issues such as mold, and few other things. The tenant didn’t pay their water bill so I do know that water bill was extremely high and the water was cut off just before they move. Is this something that I would have to take care of? Here is the description:
3 bedroom brick and frame ranch with a spacious yard, detached garage, rear patio. Sold as is. buyer to take on city repairs & put up escrow if required. no disclosures, no survey or termite provided. present detailed pre-qualify or proof of funds with offer. em certified funds only( what do that mean?). I live in a very nice neighborhood. Actually this is the only house on the block that is vacant right now. The foreclosure estimate on zillow for the property is $76,000 the zestimate is about $ 79,000. Since I don’t have any money, my guess is that I would have to deal with a private lender, but I’m not sure if any private lenders would let me finance a foreclose property to flip and I might be missing out on some other details that might be relevant to this situation too.

Now that you heard my spill. What do you think?

If a tenant is renting and find out the house that are renting is going into foreclosure. Is there anyway the renter could possible try and save the home and take over the mortgage without having to qualify for a mortgage?
