How did you get started on your first RE deal

[Munim Jalil]

Hi Guys,

I know this may be very broad question - I'm interested to hear how folks got into their first RE deal and how much cash they started with....

I live in NYC and getting in RE here can be very expensive here especially if you don't have enough capital. I've saved up $60K that I'm looking to invest in the RE transactions, but I'm at a lost to where to start. I've read numerous books on RE from Flips, Tax-liens, etc so I have basic knowledge of RE but no actual experience in it (I also got my RE Agent license). 

I want to understand how folks took their first plunge on RE and how/where did they invested and what advice can they share for someone looking to start their career in RE investing?

Thanks in advance!
