How to invest $5-10k for the novice investor

[Aaron H.]

Hi all,

I am relatively new to the REI market and wanted some advice in regards to where I should start as an entry-level investor.

Instead of investing in stocks, I have decided to choose real estate as more of a tangible, practical vehicle for my investments. My goal is to acquire a diversified portfolio of properties, projects, etc so that I can reap the benefits of not just one but many streams of revenue.

How can I start off small, with say $5-10k of equity?? I just want to scratch the surface and get my feet wet with hopes of long-term investments down the road.

Any and all advice, experiences, etc would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Aaron

I agree with @Brian C. Look into Brandon Turner's book investing with low and no money down, make some lease option deals, build up on your semi passive income and save it till you can either do a FHA loan on a small MFR or anything else, there is always a way if you are creative and persistent.
