How to get started in real estate with bad credit?
Hello, I am new to bigger pockets. I am here to find answers on how to go about starting real estate investing. My goal is to own multi family homes, I am considering starting by purchasing a duplex, living on one side and renting out the other. My problem is I do not know how to get started, I have bad credit and do not qualify for loans. Should I focus on fixing my credit before getting into real estate investing?
