$50k to Start Real Estate Investing

[Nick McCandless]

I have $50k in cash set for investing in real estate. I want to get into the world of real estate investing to use leverage to not only generate cashflow, but also have others paying my mortgage building equity, but also allowing me to generate profits off a larger amount than I have due to loans that are also paid off by the renters. I have been doing a lot of research, but wanted to ask the BiggerPockets community how you would get started with $50k in cash ready to invest. I currently live in Orange County so its not possible currently to get a place around here, but am open to hearing suggestions.
