So you will need to have skin in the game.

I'd start small and just try to learn the game of flipping. 

The Private Equity and Institutional investor is playing the ADU game - I’m working with them.

Commercial is a totally different ball game than residential, so connecting with a commercial broker will definitely make your life easier.

On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.

If able, speak to them face-to-face at their work, your kids soccer game, church, whatever.

I know many of us didn't get into this game until later in life so my hat's off to you.

You just have to get in the game, learn, and adapt as you go.
