Hey everyone, I'm a newbie to REI and am looking to get to know the REI community in the Rhode Island area. If you're in our around RI, let's connect!

Hello everyone. I am seriously considering starting in REI with the goal of making it my primary source of income. I am looking for any advice the BiggerPockets community can give to help focus my sights on where to start. I was considering learning how to wholesale at first, but am not sure if this is the ideal way to get started. I am on a limited budget, so what's the best way to gradually raise capital? Thanks in advance!

Anita, so it's fully possible to wholesale property from any location, regardless of where you are?

Thank you for the info Anthony! I will be sure to check those links, and plan to attend RIREIG meetings asap! Hope to meet and work with other like minded individuals.

Hello everyone, I'm new to BiggerPockets and I'm looking to network with investors in the Rhode Island area. I'm just beginning my journey down the path to REI so if anyone is in the Rhode Island area and would like to share some advice I would truly appreciate it! I'm looking to start off with the wholesaling strategy. Thanks in advance!

Hey Michael, 

Thanks for the notice! I will certainly keep you updated on any deals I find. Thank you!

Hello, I'm located in Rhode Island and am also looking into the wholesaling strategy to start my REI career. Although I'm out of state, I'd love to network and share ideas!

How it looks to me is using fix and flip to generate most of your wealth, and buy and hold periodically over time is the way to go. Fix and flip will generate the bulk of your wealth, but the passive income streams of buy and hold will add up in the background over time.
