25 sitting on 25K

[Kristin Holmes]

Hey Everyone,

I'm technically not an investor yet because I haven't done anything but save money with the intention of investing in RE. I live in SoCal and after reading through BP blogs and the beginners guide (amazing by the way) I'm leaning toward buying a multi-unit property. But i'm curious of what others have done or wish they did when they first started. If you were in your mid twenties with about 25k in the bank how would you start your real estate investment journey? Buy a place in CA, buy a couple cheap houses outside of CA? Multi-unit, SF, flipping?
