Direction as a Beginner

[Kris Laku]

There are so many different avenues that you can go with real estate and I was curious as to how investors (seasoned or new), are choosing where they start (i.e. wholesaling, flipping, creative financing, etc.) ?

Starting as a real estate investor is a huge load of new information and, for me at least, makes it hard to really choose which "bridge" to focus on building. I had dabbled in wholesaling, but more recently have really been interested in networking and creative financing. Is there a better place to start or is it more important to pursue something that I've set my mind on? Finally, in terms of networking, I'm in CT and try attend meetings in my area, but how have other investors going about networking and getting into the creative financing game?

Thanks for your replies, every bit of information is appreciated!

Hey @Kris Laku! I'm personally a big fan of the house hacking option as a way to start out (and in general). This will allow you to reduce your living expenses while also getting experience with being a landlord. This would be a good place to get your feet wet and build a foundation to start pursuing another househack or another avenue if you find you're more interested in another path. Definitely start networking as well! Building your network and finding like minded individuals will be huge in your game. Best of luck!
