Just make sure to account for any additional operating expenses when projecting your cash flow.

In the meantime watch the BP podcasts and use the BP calculator to start analyzing deals so you get comfortable with the numbers.By this time next year I would say if you do this you'll have 10k in a bank account with an ok credit which should make you eligible for an FHA loan to buy (1-4 Units) with 3.5% down and get you started. 

I personally use Stessa (included free with your pro/business account) and Monarch.

If you’re able to save another $20K within 6-12 months, waiting could open up more opportunities and give you more flexibility in your investment choices.If I were young, had $23K, and believed I could rebuild that savings account, I’d seriously consider making the jump.

My favorite feature is the virtual account and virtual card options.

Account ClosedEven with high interest rates, lots of folks investing or buying homes do well with FHA loans because of small down payments and good loan terms.

Flipping is probably a little more intense, but can still be done with a day job, but again, my average flip versus my average rental: flip has made much better returns.And as for generational wealth and handing down something to your kids... well, I guess I view it as: if I can hand my kids a $10mm trust fund held in public securities, or $10mm real estate portfolio, they are going to be pretty set either way, but a real estate portfolio will continually have costs and work, a brokerage account is a bit more set and forget, with some periodic rebalancing.

I use REI Hub where all my accounts are connected and I categorize income, expenses etc.

I'm in the process of completing my first BRRRR and though I know the money is sitting there in equity, it's hard to watch the money leave my account!
