Newbie from Connecticut: Any advice on starting out??

[Account Closed]

Hello All,

A little background about my self:

I have been doing a lot of research (Books, BP, Podcast, etc.) and I feel that REI is the best step for me to make passive-income. I have been looking at buying a rental property too start off with. I've been out of college for a couple months and I feel that the best start for me should be either a FHA loan or 203K loan due too the lower down payment.

I would just like to hear of some ways other people started out and maybe some other strategies that you've used to start investing. Any advice is welcome!!!
