I would suggest going the wholesaling route until you build up enough capital to do a fix n flip or save enough for a down payment.

I plan to buy and hold and build up a nice portfolio of 50 units long term.

As someone who has always felt at odds with the traditional life script, I've realized real estate was the perfect avenue to utilize my unique skill set to build wealth for myself and my team, while simultaneously improving communities along the way.Currently I’m focused on more active investing strategies—primarily wholesaling and rehabbing—as a way to build up a base of capital to reinvest in the growth of my business.
