Starting things off small

[Noe Arreola]

Hello everyone, I am looking to startup investing in the Stockton, Manteca, and Tracy California area. I have a bit of money to play with and I am looking at a traditional way of investing example:

I finance a house a traditional way, somewhat in bad shape, rehab, rent and refinance. Is there something I would be doing wrong? I just don't have money to buy a house and do the BRRR method which I would like to do.

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated and if any realtors/lenders around this area feel free to reach out to me.
