My friend and I are newly real estate investor, we have $20,000 to start. I was wondering is that enough to start off, what's the best approach we should take?

^Loaded question.....Most popular methods are direct mail, driving for dollars, auctions, tax and foreclosures sales and networking through local rei groups.  

You might ought to use direct marketing to get leads and wholesalers.  

I'd love to point you in the right direction of receiving funding for a commercial property.

I am looking for someone like a mentor to steer me in the right direction to success.

I havent taken my contractors test as of yet but I have good experience in building and rehabbing.I'm looking for some direction on investing and flipping.

I been reading about wholesaling reo and it seems like a good stradegy to add to my belt with direct mail.  

If anyone could steer me in the right direction on where to find contracts I would love to connect and network with as many people on this site to complete deals with.

I am actually from there (Riverside/Avondale area) and starting out in sending some direct marketing there.Most of my real estate business has been in CO, OH, UT, and the south part of Florida, so this campaign will be me just getting my Jax investing feet wet.

We structured our deals a few different ways, 1)  in our IRA where we funded a mortgage to purchase with a profit split, and 2) directly purchasing the property in our name with a profit split.
