Question
I live in New York. I have no money and my credit is poor. I want to buy and sell houses but I don't know where to start can you please help me?
Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for your question.
First try calling a mortgage broker to find out what if any mortgage you are qualified for.
Based on the current market and your situation you should probably try buying properties no one else wants to buy. The owners may be willing to hold the mortgage note. Then you can rehabilitate them and re sell them for a profit.
