What should I have in order (financially) before starting REI?

I am  also open to co-wholesaling, I have a few buyers on my buyers list, as well as a couple lead resources.

Realistically bring it to the attention ("wholesale") of  someone with the resources and experience to do something with it.

I'm sure you'll find an immense resource of networking and information to help you achieve your goals!  

There was an episode on American Greed about Remington financial.. they were in business over 20 years their target was small commercial to bigger multi or commercial.. they charged 5 to 10k DD fee's estimated they brought in over 200 million in the 22 years they operated.. by the time the FBI was done with them.. they could not establish that they had made more than 11 loans in all those years.... long prison sentences. your instincts are fine and intact.

With low financials for a first deal; your pitch, passion, and niche will be more important than trying to meet straight numbers.

Lots of incredible people from our area attend and love sharing their knowledge and can definitely guide you to the resources you need in your area.

I just ran a property that I would love to buy if I can find the private money or possibly the hard money at the right rate and ran it through the BRRRR calc.All looks great except when I look at the financial projections section I see the following...50% Rule Cash Flow Estimates Pre-Refinance Total Monthly Income: $2,850 x50% for Expenses: $1,425 Monthly Payment/Interest Payment: $600 Total Monthly Cashflow using 50% Rule: $72 50% Rule Cash Flow Estimates Post-Refinance Total Monthly Income: $2,850x50% for Expenses: $1,425 Monthly Payment/Interest Payment: $556 Total Monthly Cashflow using 50% Rule: $869Am I missing something or should the total monthly cashflow Post refi be that high?  

So i am Using the GI bill to pay for college, but I also got approved for $6,300 this year in financial aid (Pell Grant/Federal Supplement Grant).
