680 is a decent credit score and she was just previously making 6 figures but was laid off. Of course she’s not settling for less. If you don’t have any info, keep it moving 💕

I don't see how you could get into the RE market with so little capital, or how it could possibly be a good idea to spend your 20K safety net when out of work. No stars, would not recommend. Investing in a fund of RE assets is feasible, but not that attractive.

This was actually a false situation to see what others would do if finances looked like this…… no one thought of ways she could of used the $20K to start a business….. She could start a digital product business……

Likeminded individuals which seems like it doesn’t exist lol

1.) I’d get a job in a real estate related career to build my network and qualify for financing. 2.) I’d put as much as I could aside each month to build capital. 3.) I’d be very choosy about that first deal, it’s make or break. A good 1st strategy would be house hack. Buy a home with a high bedroom count and rent rooms. It works well around military bases. 4.) 20k and no job is an emergency fund, not investment money. 5.) I’d use that capital building time to improve my credit.

With that little capital, you should not be in physical real estate in the US. One issue will lead to 100% loss. You could invest in public REITs. You could start by looking at VNQ a large REIT ETF. If wanting to be more active, look at the holdings as initial ideas to research.
