@Steve Vaughan I wish I could sell the car, we can’t go anywhere without it. It does slow us down though lol. I will follow your advice and try to save as much as we can first. The only worry I have is that knowing my luck by the time we have enough in savings house market will be not as good for the buyers. I noticed the prices already going up ☹️

 I didn't invest until we had our priorities and spending in line with investing.  We did not have car payments or go out to eat. A date was a frisbee or disc golf in the park. We had game night with friends. We bought and moved into a doublewide so our total housing expense was less than $300 a month.  Our why was way bigger than our want and I left the w2 in '02 at 31.

You haven't said boo about where all your money is going so only you know.  I've had to push start cars to leave closings and showins/viewings. How big is your why? To thine self be true.

We had savings but I started focusing on paying off our debt so had to drain all our savings out. Was able to pay off our credit card and one car, now working on a second car. It's just taking time to get everything in order, that's why I was wondering if its worth waiting and saving or better just to take a loan and HELOC for the first investment.

@Cody Sims Thank you, how did you start with your first property? Did you save or took a loan. I found several good deals here in Virginia Beach but just scared to make that next move.

the guru in this is   He really has this nailed.. 

 Guru? LOL Thanks for the mention though.

Pretty simple. Your why has to be bigger than your wants. Your investment property has to be more important than that car, club, restaurant, mall, new iPhone or game, vacation, etc.  It either is or isn't. Brown bag the lunch and get there. Or don't...

 Steve would your suggestion be to wait and save or go ahead and purchase it now using loans and then pay it off?
