Any advice you would give to someone first starting out?

Quote from @Will Greenlee: I would agree with @Drew Sygit every software has its kinks and this one along with all the other ones started somewhere.. 7-8 years ago Buildium was less effective than it is today, and now it is a lot better.

Not sure what I did wrong, but it appears I am not able to start a post for questions, but looks like I can answer post fine. 

Seconding what @Max Wilhite said, Multi-Family is a great way to get started.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

@Mike Levene cost to build per square foot is $200-$300 depending on finishes.So, you can start with that.

What are you thinking to get started in investing?

Quote from @Rene Hosman: Quote from @Kerry Noble Jr: I started doing some lending last year......Bridge loans.

I’m thinking a small town could be a great place for me to start compared to big cities.

@Stuart Udis, I think there is starting to be a bit of a shift here.
