As with most people starting out - having the 20%-30% equity to put in the deal is the challenge. 

I wouldn't recommend this as a starting strategy for anybody.Market Auction: There's probably a better term for this but anyone who owns a property can sell it via an auction.

Then once you know how you will get the deals, that is where the fun starts..

Hey Chris, I’d recommend to start in your own state if you can.

There are easier strategies to start your new venture.

I would recommend trying all of it out of you are new and then zeroing in on 3-4 that you really like and start to get good at in your market.

This a great place to get started. 

Hi Chris,Start by networking through BiggerPockets, local real estate meetups, LinkedIn, and self-storage investor groups.

Hey @Dean Attali or @Matt Altrich,I'm starting to take a look at PM companies and came across M&M Property Pros.

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market.
