Starting With $300K to $400K to Invest; Asset Class and Where?

[Jeff Petsche]

You have $300K to $400K in capital to start your real estate investing. Based on your background and experience, what asset class would you consider or what would you portfolio look like and WHY?   

We (my girlfriend and I) are looking at the following asset classes with a starting capital of $300K to $400K.  

(Out of State SFR and 1-4 Unit Rentals)

Mobile Homes (CREATING NOTES and PULL-OUTS) in California and possibly OOS

Syndication w/Apartment Projects

My experience is in the residential space (16 years). I'm a real estate Broker in SOCAL and currently do not have a RE portfolio except a primary residence. 

Thanks
