Hello,This is my first post, so first off I'd like to say hello to the entire Bigger Pockets community!

Saving around 10,000 would take me twos so if I'm able to get by with a lower down payment I will gladly do so..I understand  concerns that the lower the down payment  the bigger your mortgage and that banks offering low money down loans partly caused the recession....

I'm excited about becoming a member of the bigger pockets forum.

@Habon FarahWelcome to bigger pockets.

this is my first time on Bigger Pockets, I'm looking to connect with other like minded individuals, and contribute to the community.

There are so many resources here! 

There's also the SD IRA LLC, Checkbook version that's being touted, but found some Self Directed info warning to be careful with these.I'm interested in:- Obtaining rental property for income, AND tax benefits- Do some re-habs during the year (3-4/yr.)I have IRA resources available, and would like to leverage those resources in pursuit of the above interests.

I think your able to refine you're efforts, and resources, to more get yo more fertile ground by using a refined mailing list.

Hi Andrew, as mentioned above, wholesalers do the leg work in finding off-market deals and are definitely a resource to be looked into.

I have a question, as you'll know I'm new to bigger pockets and I'm even newer to real estate investing.
