Gaining connections with agents, investors, and wholesalers for off market deals is obviously a sure way to find properties under value.

I'm trying to start off small and gain my way up the ladder.

If I were to answer my own question - I'd say focus on flipping properties while you're young since it will give you a higher ROI and capital gains. 

This is how you grow your network, gain knowlage. 

Where you hoping to flip or keep for passive gain? 

Put $500-$1k on 5-10 of them and hope one of the get you 300-1000% gains-- you still may be in a loss. 

Great to hear that you’re focusing on small multifamily properties as a starting point; they can offer great cash flow and help you gain valuable experience as you scale into larger investments.

I'm hoping some 1031 exchange experts might know if it's possible to defer capital gains in this situation: I want to sell several  properties owned by a 3 member (all family) LLC (LLC-A) and sell one property owned by another LLC with different but overlapping membership (LLC-B).Buy a much larger property that would be partially owned by LLC-A and partially owned by LLC-BThe new property is one tax parcel with two addresses.

This is the best place to learn and gain info, welcome!
