If I were you I would look into the possibility of starting off with a house hack.

This is for a house that sits on a small hill in the city so it would need to be someone also familiar with getting the right permits to do so in San Francisco.

Any general advice is much appreciated.You should house hack to start.

That way, you keep more in reserves and have more to put towards your next house hack.

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

I also pay my mortgage for the house I live in.

I am currently looking to Purchase and Rehab a House in the North Dallas and DFW areas.I am eager to Network with fellow Investors and Professionals in the area to explore Opportunities for Collaboration.

All major flippers in town have heavily compressed ARV to accommodate for the potential of the downward slide to continue.

At another sale, a farm house was to be sold. 

@James Tobin  house hacking is a GREAT way to start.
