I mentor a few investors especially just starting.  

His advice (before the debt issues even arose) was to sell my whole portfolio and start over doing wholesaling.

@Ben Syzek,Congrats at the decision to start learning about REI. 

Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you’re looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing.

house hacking is great start, that's how i started in the business. would love to connect

What is a goal you have as you start learning about RE investing?

Theres one I think its by Brandon Turner that is called rent to retirement. when I was starting out I read one that was called one property a year that resonated with me.

Since you're looking to expand into Florida and other states, I'd recommend starting by narrowing down your focus:Market Research – Florida has great opportunities, but each state and city has different laws, taxes, and demand drivers.

I’m currently looking to invest in Kansas City, starting with a few fix-and-flips and eventually getting into residential development. 

It's starting to happen already.5.
