I made the crazy decision to leave my job in medical sales with no plan other than knowing I want to start investing in real estate. My hubs has a good w2 job so we can still qualify for loans. We also have $ saved we can put down, or furnish a home with, etc. That being said, in your opinion, what's the best way to get started? Rentals, flips, BRRR, airbnb?

I see you're a realtor! In my opinion, I would do as many multi-family and otherwise open houses as I could and network my pants off. Go to every meetup and every coffee connection I could until I found an opportunity I couldn't pass up. This is double-effective, because it helps you build your network of lenders, handy people, contractors, title partners, private lenders, etc who...if the proper relationship can be developed will show you what the MLS can't. Just my 2 cents :) good luck!
