Contractor getting into value-add real estate investing

[Jason Boring]

I am a 45 year old contractor and have been in construction all my life. I have done well in the construction industry and am now in a position to pursue real estate investing full time. I would like to do a combination of both flips and rentals depending on what makes the most sense for the property location and needs. I live about 30 minutes outside of Knoxville in a used-to-be small town that is booming and shows no sign of slowing down. I have nearly $100k to invest but would like to use it in a way that multiplies it and doesn't tie it up for long periods of time. Properties in my area cannot be bought undervalue like is always the recommended way to buy. I've been listening to BP for a few months and am very excited to get started investing.
