What’s the Best Real Estate Strategy for Someone Starting Over?

I originally got into real estate as a wholesaler before getting my license. Now I’m rebuilding my investment portfolio while helping other investors find deals. If you had to start over today with limited resources, what strategy would you focus on

- Would you start with house hacking, BRRRR, wholesaling, or another strategy?
- What’s a lesson you’ve learned that would help someone starting fresh?
- How important is having a strong agent or team when getting back into investing?

@Gregg Hutton

If I were starting over with limited resources, house hacking or the BRRRR strategy would likely be the best focus for long-term growth and cash flow. A key lesson is to start small and build steadily—don't rush into big deals before gaining experience. Having a strong agent or team is crucial for identifying the right opportunities, navigating the market, and scaling effectively.

Good luck!
