First time investor

[Armand P.]

Hello-

What is the best way or method on getting into real estate investing for a person who has some $ to start? My long term goal would be to buy multi family units. What I believe makes sense is to flip a few homes to raise capital and use that $ for buy and hold property and grow my portfolio...

Is a hard money loan for flips recommended if personal funds are not enough?

I would be open to partnering with one or a group or people who have similar interest...

Bottom line: I know what I want to achieve but need guidance on how to get the ball rolling

Armand.
