Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building. 

Together with the equity that the house will have (heloc or refinance).No one has provided details to knocked down the idea yet, so I'm leaning in the doable direction.

Property management provides all of that.

Thanks for your time and help,Melissa   I’m going to provide some alternative advice.  

Connect with local wholesalers and investor friendly agents and provide your criteria to start receiving deal flow.

For example: We provide tax preparation and advisory services to people who invest in commercial (including multifamily) real estate, and high w2 earners investing in short-term rentals.

With investment properties, most lenders I work with prefer to have an address to work with in order to provide a "soft" quote, which does not include a hit to your credit.

I think it is really up to what you can provide to the investor.

Diversification Beyond the Stock Market: Real estate provides tangible, real-world value that helps hedge against market volatility—a crucial feature when building a resilient retirement portfolio.
