Hello all, I’m buying my first duplex and have been soaking up information with a firehose.

Hello all, I’m buying my first duplex and have been soaking up information with a firehose.

Sell as is and use the money as seed money for purchasing other properties to rent, BRRRR, or flip; 3.

Golden Rule #1:  NEver, ever, for any reason, spend your "seed money". 

etc.3) Appreciate any and all advice/tips as we are still learning and soaking up as much as we can along the ride. 

I have a very close friend who would like to provide me some seed money to source some real estate deals.

I've read quite a few books and have watched and listened to countless hours of podcasts and videos over the past couple of months, trying to immerse myself and soak up as much RE investment information as possible.

Willing to soak in any information people have to make the process more automated.

Since you are in Cali, you might want to look elsewhere, but also if you are still learning, find local investors and meetups and soak up the knowledge for now and then start seeing what markets could work for you.

Hello fellow investors: I am just getting started and trying to soak in as much as possible as I navigate finding my first deal.
