It actually saves me $9 per month. 

Call it a dollar devaluation adjusted savings account. 

I purchased my first investment property through an online auction for delinquent property tax.

Now I found one that specializes in real estate investors that was recommended by an online mentor.

I have almost zero in taxable accounts outside a savings account.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

I have always wrote my own contracts using online templates and I have been asked to write an owner financing contract for someone else.

Save the difference and supplement with other savings from a regular job.

Zillow shows 1256 views but only 41 saves since listing.

Don't try to save money by not using an attorney to draft docs.
