So I’m trying to come up with a game plan  Conventional loans do require 25% down on an investment property.

I just was on BP's Real Estate Rookie podcast and talked about the small and mighty game plan. 

I see that kind of structure (maybe different splits or thresholds) with first time LPs - it's generally simpler and easier to understand.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

You don't want to be so focused on getting into the game that you leverage the start of your entire life just to do it.

I'm new to bigger pockets and more importantly I am new to the real estate game.

It's a whole new world to me and throughout the dozen books and hundred podcasts I've listened to so far I've waffled back and forth from feeling encouraged and excited to feeling like getting into the game in my area would be unattainable... and then back to being encouraged.

We recently did a BRRRR and got our HELOC out of the refi, but it was a lot of work and we are looking for a simpler investment.

Many online courses are self-paced, so working on it in your spare time is absolutely doable.If a career shift isn’t your goal, you can still learn the "game" through various other means.

Supplement this far simpler entity approach by ensuring you have appropriate types and levels of insurance, you operate your business in a manner in which your conduct is not considered an exclusion in your policy, you work with licensed and insured vendors, you execute contracts with indemnification clauses with these same vendors/ require additional insured status &  maintain appropriate licensing and permits.
