Has anyone used Lending Home for financing?

I am a new investor and have a question to throw out there. My long term investing goal is to build a portfolio of rentals for a secure stream of income and add in properties to wholesale or fix& flip. My wife and I have credit card debt and student loans to deal with, so should I first look for properties to flip and pay off debt or start to build with rentals?

Thanks Hattie! 

I would be very interested to hear some thoughts on investing in REO properties from the bank. Seems like a good source for properties, but what are some of the positives/ negatives. Are there ways of doing this without having funds of your own?

thanks for the responses! I have a good friend that spent some time flipping houses. I also have a few friends that are real estate agents. I am hoping to spend some time with them trying to gain a better understanding of the best route to start. Austin, we have many mobile homes in my area. That might be a great place to look. Thanks for the help!

Hey guys! I am looking for some advice in regards to beginning to invest in real estate. My wife and I already own 1 rental property. However, after 2 job losses between 2009 and 2011, our savings are gone and we are starting over financially. Any advice on the best way to start? My initial thought was to look for wholesaling opportunities for short term cash, and add buy and hold properties to build long term wealth.
