RentRedi is great because they provide our members with 1 to 1 support and onboarding to help get started. 

You'll need money for: closing costs, down payment (if any), operating capital to get the construction/rehab started (most HMLs reimburse you in draws for the work completed), along with some liquid reserves on top of that.

I have been working with many people who are just trying to get started with real estate investing.

This past year they have started paying rent late to the point where the total accumulated time is about 3 months of back rent due.

I started with a property management company.

If house hacking isn't the best option for me, how would you recommend starting out to build up some investments.

I am new to real estate and i want to start wholesaling so i hope to learn alot here 

We’re hoping to start small and are looking at markets, such as Buffalo or Rochester, NY.

Or, they flip homes, they are agents, they offer client remodel work, etc, so not specifically flippers but dabble in a lot of real estate related areas.Or, the full timers that started as flippers have since moved into new construction work more than flipping.
