Brandon Hall What would you do in my situation?
20 July 2015 | 9 replies
hi brandon. here is what you do. you need to build your credit as much as you can. first thing you want to do is take $1000 of that money you have and go to a bank near you, any bank. put it in an account. a week or so later, go back to that bank and ask to take out a secured loan for $1000. secure it with that account. they are NOT going to deny you. then, take that $1000 that you just borrowed and head to another bank and make an account with that $1000. a week or so later, go back to bank #2 and take out another secured loan for $1000, securing it with the $1000 account you just opened. repeat the process again and again until you have to pay back the original $1000. when you consistantly pay back all of those $1000 loans, you will have established your credit, using only $1000 of your own money, and you will have multiple banks that would be willing to loan you money in the future because you now have credit with them . in the mean time, look around for real estate deals with the rest of your money, they are out there and you can find them with the money that you have. good luck to you
