What is the best way to get started as a real estate investor?

[Brieer Doggett]

Hi it’s time I got into real estate investing. I’d like to know the best or preferred way to start. Is it wholesaling? Rentals? I work a full time job and want to know what’s the best route.

Good morning Brieer,

Glad to hear you're getting started!

I cant wait to see all the great feedback you'll get on your post from the BP community.

My recommendation for the best route is to start with the end in mind. 

If you're looking for something passive so that you can focus on your job and other obligations, buy & hold rental property could be the best route to take.

If your intention is to run a marketing campaign to find deals and sell them to an end user or other investor, wholesaling could be your best bet.

No matter what you choose, please find someone in your market with market knowledge and experience and offer them coffee, lunch, or volunteer your time to add value to them somehow. 

Best of luck to you moving forward!

Abel
