Starting Out Option A or B

[Jake Ernst]

Hello BP Nation,

I recently listened to one of the first podcasts (episode 30) about conservative investing with Kenny Estes and it sparked a thought. I personally am primarily conservative in my investing (young and building wealth so I am not ready to put money into high risk high reward stocks, investments, etc. just yet) but in starting in real estate and learning along the way Ken mentions that it would be smarter for someone to invest $50,000 along with someone who already has success in real estate. Whereas Brandon states that it's worth jumping in on your own learning a lot and possibly losing money. Call it a $20,000 education. So I thought I would ask which route you prefer and why:

Option A - invest along with an experienced investor

Option B - due your due diligence but jump into it on your own

Option C - something else?

Thanks for your time and insight,

Jake
