So I'm questioning if my inexperience in this sector of real estate investing is effecting my likelihood of getting funding or my limited credit history....

Originally posted by @Bryan Bannach:Redfin only charges 1% to sell and gives 3% to buyer agent making your total 4% And the incompetence and inexperience of their agents will likely cost you more than they save you. 

I would save your money, read lots of books, listen to all the BP podcasts, drive for dollars, network with local investors and ask them how you can serve them (for FREE - you want to be paid in experience and information). 

Pardon my inexperience!

The sander in the picture is maybe a little slower, but it has a lot more forgiveness for inexperience (if you are inexperienced).  

My confidence is strong, but my lacking in experience is holding me back.

We range in experience from newbie's learning to wholesale or buy their first place to experienced buy and hold investors as well as agents. 

You may also want to checkout REI groups.There are also many that will prey on your inexperience.

You only open the door for them to take advantage of your inexperience.

I do not have much experience except what I have learned through upgrading my house and of course BP and other resources, but while I lack in experience I have been soaking up every ounce of knowledge I can from books,forums, and a few friends.
