The other option I looked at was GroundFloor which I found in the bigger pockets directory here for crowd funding, however I believe the interest rate will be high since this is a 0 exp flip.However, my father has been running a contracting business for a very long time and he will be my main resource when flipping these first few when it comes to the rehab portion.

Hello Bigger Pockets, I am creating my first LLC in Alabama to put a couple of my rental properties into.

It was so cool that I've found such an opportunity to study at the other city with the bigger cases to work.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Ethan H.!

Assuming it's not one on going nightmare and I like the work the way I imagine I might, I have another financial event in 4 years that will leave me with a healthy chunk of of capital to make a bigger move.  

welcome to bigger pockets!

I know I have given loads of advice and was even selected to speak at the bigger pocket seminar in Denver hundred years ago!

@Tony Cash , I just searched Bigger Pockets Money and BiggerPockets Money and found it both times.

I just started listening to Bigger Pockets last week, but I have been interested in real estate investing for the last year or so.

Every no brings you closer to a yes.With a limited track record you could get a partner on a deal, wholesale a deal until you have enough money to have a bigger deposit, or like @Peter Sanchez and @Alexander Felice mentioned house hacking.Real estate is amazing because you have unlimited options and have to develop the mindset that you are a real estate transactor.Let me know if you need help with anything and I would be happy to help!
