Looking to make first real estate deal

[Jim L.]

Hey everyone looking for any advice as I am extremely new to real estate. Few years ago I was buying and selling my own home without a realtor and think I did pretty well but more importantly I enjoyed it very much. I want to get involved in some sort of real estate whether buy and flip, rental, air bnb, or assignment. I've always been worried about rentals and dealing with people who don't pay, but in any business there are always risks. Wanted to get an idea of what might be best for 1st timer getting into real estate, fees/money to prepare during certain deals. Any info would be great. Been listening to biggerpockets podcasts but sometimes hard finding specific info catered to me.
