How do i start in this situation.

[Adam Eckhoff]

Good Afternoon,

My name is Adam and i'm currently a commercial real estate appraiser trainee. I've been delving into real estate for the past few years and really enjoy it. I'm happily engaged (COVID-19 pushed back my wedding); have a stable job; purchased my first house; and have a decent amount of money saved up.

My question is; and based on the above, if you were in this situation i'm currently in, how would you start real estate investing? Do i... just... save my money.. take out a HELOC.. For my first property, i would like to purchase a single-family dwelling or duplex.

Any advice will great.

Thanks,

Adam.
