In the Bigger Pockets free book, "Real Estate Rewind", as one of the 11 co-authors I wrote about one such Tax Sale purchase and made money but not enough money to warrant the risk involved.

They seem to know what they are doing for that pocket and has the track record to prove it.

There are Bigger Pocket events you could look into as well.

 I have been researching and browsing through bigger pockets and different real estate investment info but haven’t pulled the trigger on anything.

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

If you can rent it for enough to cover the principal, interest, taxes and insurance and still put money in your pocket, plus cash flow on the property you're purchasing, that would be ideal.

*Note* In NJ I will qualify for grants up to 22k to contribute at closing- In PA it would be closer to 10k (Money leaves my pocket at closing)I’m open to all ideas and advice as I’m going to get started this year, sooner rather than later.

That’s how I got started—with little to no money out of pocket.

What your describing is built into the YSP, not extra points out of your pocket.

We would appreciate the help from Bigger Pockets Support.
