Cleaning up personal finance first?

[Ference Dominguez]

Hi all,

I'm just learning the ropes to REI, and had a question. Should I clean up my personal finances before I even think about investing ( improve credit score, decrease debt, increase savings account..etc)??? Thanks everyone. I look forward to participating in these forums.

Flips can be accomplished while being broke? I was unaware that was possible. I thought driving for dollars while accomplishing a wholesale deal was the way to make money while using no money in real estate.

1. Flips buy this book

2. Sub2, LO, SLO, OF, Wrap-AITD, etc see

It takes shoe leather, some flyers, knocking on doors, networking, gas, etc.

But you can "bootstrap" alot.
