Sammy, please check your DMs and feel free to browse my business profile; link is in signature.

Usually people saying there are no deals are just browsing Zillow instead of networking, bidding on auctions, working with wholesalers, etc. 

Zillow, just browsing the properties and verifying the cash flow with something like DealCheck?

I realized really quickly while browsing the likes of Zillow that there aren’t simple turnkey 20-25% down properties and will need to be creative with a solution.

When it comes to finding deals in real estate, particularly in the multifamily sector, it's not as straightforward as browsing online listings.

You can also browse real estate platforms like Zillow or Realtor.com for potential listings in your desired area.

Sadly, licensing among agents here is not as widespread as it should be.For those who prefer browsing in English, Mexican websites like Trovit, Vivanuncios, and Inmuebles24 might pose a language barrier.

I have access to the VA loan from serving.I spend hours listening to audiobooks, reading, browsing the forums, and getting my RL license so I can be as educated as possible, but my question is, how much money would I need to begin investing in real estate?

You can also browse MLS everyday if you want but I like seeing deals coming into my inbox everyday, even if I'm not ready to buy.

Just spend the next 6 months browsing these forums, listening to the podcasts, reading a few books.Then start connecting with local realtors, general contractors, and developers.Post any specific questions you have about the process here in the forums and you'll get answers within a few hours.
