How to get started as a newbie

[Crystal Hogsed]

Hey guys! I am a new real estate agent and investor. Where would you suggest starting? 

I had thought wholesaling would be the best way to start out, however after doing research I'm beginning to think that may not be the best way to start. How did you get started with investing? Any advice is super helpful and appreciated!

Welcome to the investing world! I got started house hacking a duplex, and since then we've grown to about 40 buy-and-hold units. 

If you have the income / down payment for it, then I'd highly recommend house hacking. You're going to need to live somewhere anyways, and what better way to get into investing than to cut into your own housing costs and learn how to be a landlord without having to travel far to do it.

Would that be an option for you?
