Where should I start with Real Estate Investment? I don't like wholesaling that much

[Jordan L.]

I know that in everything you do, you need to put effort in and wholesaling takes time and patience, however I think my first step will be to purchase a multi-unit? I was thinking a tri-plex or fourplex? I am really not into the wholesaling at all. I tried and I dont like it! I know some may say start with wholesaling first if there is no cash but I prefer to purchase my first rental property first. I will use my 401k for my first purchase. The past couple of months I just been paying down debt mostly credit card so I can be prepare for this purchase. There is fear but I will not let that stop me, what are your thoughts for my first real estate investment move? Thank You in advance
