It's normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves – it's all part of the journey.With your short-term rental in NY no longer an option, flipping could be a solid entry point to build up some capital for future ventures like buy-and-hold properties.Choosing the right market to start is key.

@Chandler WilliamsBiggerPockets has gotten new investors to mix up "analysis paralysis" and "not having any money."  

It has a good cash flow potential, but Ive heard mixed reviews on the area. 

There are a lot of wholesale lenders out there that cover mixed-use investment properties. 

We’re trying to close on a seller financed mixed use building.

I have a healthy mix of LTR's that allow we to weather a potential STR storm.

An example of this would be mixing your personal money and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

It's a bit of a mix-up, but the idea is to make the whole buying and selling process clearer and more competitive, which could end up saving people money.

Then google those names to get their contact information to see if they are interested in selling and on what terms.I tried this on a couple of properties with mixed success.

Kyle, another vote to avoid mixing money with family and friends.
