@Nathan Gesner  is on point yet again, start with your basic estate plan first just like he did. 

I’d like to start off by house hacking a multi-family unit. 

Dumpster is delivered and demo starts the first week . 

The BRRRR strategy is a systematic approach to real estate investing that revolves around five key steps:Buy: Purchase a property, often below market value, that has potential for appreciation and improvement.Rehab: Renovate the property to increase its value, make it livable, and improve its rental potential.Rent: Find reliable tenants who will pay rent, allowing you to generate consistent cash flow.Refinance: After the property is rehabbed and rented, refinance it to pull out the equity you’ve built through the renovation.Repeat: Use the cash obtained from refinancing to fund your next investment property, starting the cycle again.Step-by-Step Breakdown of the BRRRR MethodLet’s take a closer look at each stage of the BRRRR strategy to see how it works in practice.1.

When I started, I  submitted great deals to a corporate cash buyer,  they went behind my back and secure the deals with the sellers, after the  contracts expired.

You learn what you can as quickly as possible, and start implementing.

And the favor is please mark me in your system as do not call.My wife has started doing the same and it works for her as well. 

Regarding getting started, I recommend finding an STR owner who's overwhelmed or just worn out with managing their property, and perhaps who's also not using a dynamic pricing tool, and then offering to manage it for a very small cost. 

5 units+ could be a good place to get started.

It has only been in recent years that it is starting to see growth again.
