I'm new to bigger pockets and more importantly I am new to the real estate game.

Making money in real estate requires experience and starting with no or little money makes you study harder.As much as most of us probably wished for it, getting started with a lot of money in your pocket is a recipe for disaster: the temptation is to make the deal work by throwing money at it.If you want to go into real estate go with a syndicator with a good track record.

Without having to skip trace, or ask bigger pockets forum questions like: "which skip tracing software is more accurate". 

Based on your current assumptions, you would be paying $1,229 per month out of pocket, leading to negative cash flow.If you’re house hacking and living in the property, it might still make sense because you're paying for housing anyway.

Hello Bigger Pockets!

Greetings Pocketeers!

Ask around here on BP and passive pockets for opinionsYes they put ads on Facebook because it can work - we see ads for very high returns on Facebook and people fall in love with the number - please note you are not the first or last to go through this.

BP will be the perfect place to find a mentor or just take notes from others experiences to add to your back pocket. 

It'd be better to pocket the cash in my opinion and invest elsewhere.It seems like there's a bit of conflict between where you are and where you'd like to be.
