I've also recently become licensed as an agent in KS to assist with my RE investing venture.

As much as I would like to be able to purchase something that I don’t have to live in, I know how important just getting my first investment off the ground is and this just may be the easiest option for me (not to mention if I could work out a duplex where I ended up with free rent that would let me build up my cash reserves a lot more quickly).

My wife an I do currently have 2 condo/townhouses in addition to our home that we rent out and maintain.My goals are to start out Wholesaling to get my feet wet and build up some capital, while networking to find buyers and private lenders to eventually start flipping and also buy and hold some for long term.Thanks for reading my story!

If you're wholesaling it, and the deal is good, you'll find buyers -- you don't need to build up some list to do that.

Additional information:1) I plan on purchasing a 'turn-key' first home to live in and shortly after settling in I plan to purchase another property that needs some work to possibly flip to build up some capital for the next (bigger) investment.

It was great for small time investors like myself trying to build up a portfolio. 

We build up the plywood a little bit in the back, so it slants towards the front.

The goal is to build up as much passive income as possible.

Would you be interested in buying SFD and flipping them even within a year or so, build up cash and use that for your rentals with more stable terms?

That will also let me build up a little of the cash flow.
