I had real estate agents knocking on the door leaving cards everyday for the first few months.

If you have a credit card or car payment, use that cash flow and knock it out quickly.

You definitely don't want to over-leverage and end up with a house of cards that'll fall over with a gust of wind.

This is broad question but here's a couple pieces of advice:1) Put it out there what you're looking for (i.e. facebook/insta/Snapchat/craigslist posts), car magnets, business cards, etc.);2) Secure funding ahead of time (or at least know your funding strategies);3) Have a good home inspector on your team (he/she may be the difference between negative cashflow and positive cashflow);4) set up automatic cragislist email notifications on potential deals (set up key words);5) buy properties in areas that you wouldn't mind your own family living in; 6) Remove emotion when sifting through deals;7) Don't give up

I'll see if they let me get a credit card.  

That letter should be your ‘get out of jail free’ card if they try to hold back your deposit upon move-out.

Only "credit inquiries," and they are categorized by type of creditor, with mortgages being the least impactful and credit cards being the most.

I gave him my business card.

I currently have 1k in credit card debt on one card, a auto loan under 11k and a atv loan under almost under 2k  My credit score is a 758 and i have only 10k in my savings. 

I do get people occasionally who will ask me about maxing out their credit cards to do a deal or want me to introduce them to someone who will put up all the money on a deal.
