Wanting to start investing now. Any starting tips?

[Joseph Goods]

My wife and I are looking to sell our home in Seattle to move to SD to start investing. We’ll have a bit of cash to start (nothing crazy).

Just curious of what has been good first steps in buying, getting financing with a small income, and tips for finding multi family homes or single family homes that need a little love. Any thoughts, ideas or connections to the San Diego area would be so appreciated!
