My name is Rob Luck and I'm a REA here in Springfield, MO and am just getting my feet wet in the investing side of things. 

Get your toes wet.

It's zoned R6-12, 3.42 acres with %20 wet lands (pond) in one corner.

We're still very much getting our feet wet, but we're trying to learn the local market. 

I always find that people are saying that newbies should get their feet wet doing wholesaling. 

Dig in, get your feet wet, read books, listen to audible and start gathering information.

I was thinking maybe I could just try to break even or possible risk losing a little on my first property just to get my feet wet?

I am actually from there (Riverside/Avondale area) and starting out in sending some direct marketing there.Most of my real estate business has been in CO, OH, UT, and the south part of Florida, so this campaign will be me just getting my Jax investing feet wet.

Short term, I am looking to get my feet wet, I want to learn as much as I can about rental properties, flipping, and buy and hold to gain enough information to be comfortable with my first deal.Long term, I hope to acquire enough rental property to produce enough passive income that would allow me to spend more time with my wife and newborn baby girl.I would like to thank everyone in advance for your knowledge and time in working with me.

Trying looking for a duplex, triplex or 4-plex and get your feet wet.
