How would you invest your first 50K?
As a Realtor I work with a lot of investors. They all have different criteria for what they're looking for and it's easy for me to take that criteria and look for specifically what they want. When it comes to investing for myself however, I can't seem to make up my mind. Would it be more beneficial to start with a fix and flip, buy and hold, or straight into MF units ready to be rented out?
Which strategy did you start with and what would you recommend is the best strategy in this market?

@Ayat Suleman start with the end and reverse engineer what that process looks like for you.
That would help you get to that place that works best for you to invest in.
Build out what that investment criteria looks like for you and that should help you game plan efficiently moving forward.
Happy investing!
