Quote from @Jonathan Greene: You did the right thing by fixing your finances first so that is awesome.

I always like recommending David Greene's Pillars Of Wealth book as a great foundation for you to build your real estate portfolio on top of.

Check into the items listed above and if you get a green light, definitely move forward! 

If you get the green light from them, I'd happily recommend a few PMs I've worked with. 

I have a few properties I own and I also manage some, so I'm not completely green to the world of real estate, however I want to dive into wholesaling and that's totally out of my realm of expertise. 

Thanks @Jonathan Greene—@Cami Danielle I think New Haven is a fairly tough market (and, right now, overpriced).

I'll second @Jonathan Greene , @Michael Smythe , and @Michael Paling - BRRRR and flipping are bad ideas when you don't have any money or experience.

I'm really not trying to sell anything with what I'm about to share here, but knowing that I wanted to invest out of state I turned to David Greene's materials on Long Distance Real Estate Investing.

Thanks @Jonathan Greene!

I'd recommend David Greene's Pillars Of Wealth for you to make sure that both you and your parents personal finances has a solid foundation before we start our real estate investing journey.
