Real estate advice for beginners

[Hairo Meza]

I've decided to try and get into REI and I just feel like I don't know where to start. So many people say to start off with wholesaling , and others will say that it's a waste of time. I want to buy a multi unit rental property using my FHA , I'm working on getting enough money saved up , I just don't know if I should buy out of state or in my state (CA). Flipping houses is something down the road I would like to get into , but just definitely don't have the capital to invest that right now. I would just definitely appreciate any or all feedback. Even if I could get 1 on 1 conversations , I just know this is possible and I don't want a free handout , I just want to learn , expand my knowledge on strategies and execute.
