Looking forward to connecting with others in pursuit of financial freedom through real estate investing.

I obtained my first line of credit for a similar reason as your pursuit.

So do this:In your pursuit of property:   Under estimate value and over estimate fix up costsExample:House has a value of 100k ARV  (Really 110k to 115k)Purchase price:  40kFix up costs: 15k (really 10k) (remember overestimate fixup costs)Assignment fee for me on this deal:  5k1.  

For the past 6mos or so, I've been actively pursuing real estate investing - specifically in the so cal market.In my pursuit, I've been geekishly testing a range of data/analytical models for evaluating real estate from the national to county to city to zip code, neighborhood, and even .25mi radius search (and neighborhood block) levels!

I worked as a chef in my early twenties and since then, accounting during the day and creative pursuits at night - first as a singer/songwriter, then in my thirties pursuing my degree as an English literature teacher.When my daughter was born three months ago, I had to take a hard look at my goals and I realized that raising a family on two teachers' salaries (my wife is an established teacher) is going to be a hard road financially.So the English teacher option was out - as fulfilling as it would be as a career, it won't pay the bills.I've always had an interest in real estate.
