Wholesaling which arguably takes some of the most skill, judgement, and skillset, is seen as an easy way into the whole game.  

Buying OTM in good areas is arguably going to be the best route to go, or putting larger downpayment to offset cash flow negative.If you're buying off-market properties or that have certain risks to it and making it viable, you're buying crap properties.

I will always emphasize, to anyone willing to listen, the 203k loan is arguably one of the smartest ways to get involved in real estate. 

Even with the lowest inventory our area has ever seen.It’s arguably the perfect starter market to get your feet under you with solid routine deals and figure out your favorite strategy.
