What’s the best investment strategy for me?

[Andre King]

Hi Everyone I’m new to this forum and would like some advice on building my real estate portfolio. A little about me I’m an architect and general contractor and own a very small design/build firm. I live in the Bay Area,  am 49 and don’t have a retirement plan so I figure real estate is the best place to start. I don’t have a lot of disposable income maybe $10k. I recently bought a house and increased the square footage through a conversion so I have about $200k in equity. I also am able to build an in law but would like to do so through real estate investing. What’s the best place to start?
