Hi, as the title suggest I am new. I have read and read and read but have not actually jumped to make a deal. In far to many ways I feel as though I am not remotely knowledgeable enough to start. That and my low credit score and the inability to gather enough money. And while yes I have seen it a million times that I can become an investor with out either of those, I have read elsewhere where that is a contradiction.
I have always dreamed of owning rental units to have a passive income. And this is still my main goal, short from that I wouldn't mind wholesaling or flipping.
Oh and I am here in San Antonio, nice to meet all you!

The big question is how bad do you want this. As a grown up you have to make serious life decisions everyday. This should be one of the biggest. You either have to cut back on expenses or increase your income. By doing one or both of those you will increase your cash in hand. I hate to say it, but SACRIFICE should be a key word in your life to get to increased income and decreased expenses.
Look up driving for dollars. Do some reading on direct mail marketing. Those both go hand in hand and will help you create some income. Go to some free REIAs in the area to see what others are doing.

Joe Ross I started in real estate investing just like where you are now. I have built a very successful business since then. The reason I share this is because it is possible. That being said it was NOT easy by any means. I had to work really hard and like Rick Pozos said sacrificed a lot. Don’t focus on what you’re lacking. Focus on what you do have or can do and double down on that. If need further help feel free to reach out. I’m not a BS coach or mentor, I have been where you are.

@Rick Pozos I want it very bad, and I will get it. For the most part I been procrastinating due to those circumstances mentioned above. Unfortunately with my situation there isnt anything for me to cut back on. However I do plan on increasing my cash flow where I can do something. I am always looking for a way to make a quick buck. I have skills with Computers and Networking, I am a 3D Artist/Animator, I have also have the tools and experience to do a lot of Handyman duties. Mostly Trim Carpentry focusing on doors and cabinets. Nothing is easy, and nothing really good is ever easy, these are fundamentals I have learned over the years, and will be applying. I have read some on Driving for Dollars, and plan on learning more of the subject as well as the direct mail marketing. Thank you.
@Jonatan Barbera Thank you for that enlightenment, really means a lot. More than likely I will be reaching out to you when I have more specific questions. Thank you
