Getting started and you already have capital
A lot of the focus in the BiggerPockets podcasts, blog posts, and forums are how to get started when you don't have much or any capital. The recommendations include everything from house hacking with duplexes/quads/etc, flipping to raise capital, BRRRRR, etc. Things progress from there to scaling with larger multi-family properties, commercial real estate, and so on.
I'm wondering what experienced investors would do with the knowledge they've gained if they were starting from scratch and had $500k-$1m starting capital. How would you start building your real estate empire? Would you make it your full time focus, part time focus?

There’s a million threads in this. I would invest in some syndications and notes. Skip the single family rental stage and go do bigger deals
