New to real estate investing, with $100k to start. Any advice?

Hello. I am brand new to real estate investing. I have funded a corporation from my 401k using the ROBS process (Rollover as Business Start-up). I am starting with $100,000 to invest in my first deal. Because my company has to be an active company (ROBS restrictions), I have to start out fixing and flipping, versus buying and holding. 


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am super conscious that I am using my retirement for this venture. I want to make the right first moves. I am currently getting my real estate license to get educated in this area. 

What should I do first?

    Hi @Jason Allen. I am definitely planning to invest out of state. But because I am just starting out, I think it makes sense for me to stay local. First I would want to establish a network and have eyes on the ground that I can trust.
