Rent or Flip? Beginner seeking advice

[Vanessa Roca]

Hello! I'm a new real estate investor in the Northern Virginia area and looking to learn as much as I can here on BiggerPockets.

I'm personally really intrigued with house flipping, but hesitant to jump in due to my lack of experience and the current market here as the house prices are high. Because of this, I've been thinking to start with long term rental investments, but would appreciate some advice! As well as financing strategies that require less upfront cash!
