Ready to jump in, but where to start?

[Matt Pine]

My wife and I are READY to join the world or real estate investing. We have a decent amount of capital, are leaning towards investing in several properties to start. Ideally, we want to purchase several that are somewhat "turnkey", and want to buy one project property to rehab.

Now we're trying to decide whether we should focus our energy in a single state or several. I've read a lot in support of both approaches but would love to hear the BP community chime in as we are just starting out...

One other thing that makes our situation unique is that we have spent the past year living in our trailer, traveling around the country. So we are not tied to any physical location. It's quite easy for us to "move" to a new market and set shop for several months.

Thanks in advance for your responses!
