Quote from @Michael Dumler:

@Caleb Stacks I agree with Zeona, simply buy a primary residence and Airbnb it when you are traveling. This investment strategy is probably one of the easier methods for a newbie like yourself to take advantage of. What's appealing about the strategy is that you can utilize an owner-occupied loan so your interest rate and monthly payments will be lower than a typical investment loan depending on your downpayment. Your next practical step should be to speak with multiple lenders and get pre-approved to see how much you would qualify for. Once you're pre-approved, start connecting and networking with investor-focused agents and determine how they can source you a good deal. Hope this makes sense and helps! 


Thanks for the input!

Hi all,

I’m currently a travel nurse and would like to start real estate investing with the money I’ve made and saved from my job(s). Flipping, rentals, and Airbnb is what’s been appealing to me. I’d like any advice on where/what to start out with. I’ve been reading and trying to learn and I don’t want to get stuck in the rut of “trying to learn” forever. I want to jump in but would like to hear from some of you how you got started and what worked best. Thank you!
