You may want to try those types of strategies once you have some experience first however.Imagine a football coach and it's his first season with the team and he decides to start the home opener with an on-side kick.Check out some of the beginner guides here on BP:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

Lastly, I'm a teacher/coach in San Antonio so I have my summers completely free.

Coach construction 50K-100K with 800-1200 rental possibility)We find that tenants like the 'separate' nature of laneway houses, turnover is less, rents are more.

Then, go out and join one of the many outstanding REIAs and real estate investor Meet ups where you are, and find a local mentor/coach.  

The 2nd one has value in and of itself, however the purpose is to sell one of their coaching packages.

I also highly recommend listening to the BP podcasts (free - and I learn something new every podcast), plus Traction REIA has monthly speakers and workshops (under $70) that can also be very good training (although watch out for the sell for coaching or more in depth training).  

My wife and I are just getting started and I think it would be very helpful to get a coach that we could walk along with for a little while.

best of luck my neighboring investor(envestor), you have to be creative in this industry, i like to think of it as envesting in yourself first, knowledge can be powerful like vinay states, but without action it is useless, get as much as you can gain from this platform there are great educational devices and tools the BP nation has allowed us fellow envestors to spread there brand.............LOL i meant brain, definitely try to locate an mentor or coach who has some experience in this industry, after that i would recommend locating a couple of good realtors in your area they can be very useful, get a line of credit if possible and use credit cards or private funding to access the capital you need to purchase the property, finally make sure you hone into the niche that you want to market, we like the Multi-family 1-4unit projects, but by no means are we not flexible enough to execute an flip/rehab or wholesale if the opportunity presented itself, keep posting but most of all keep sharing hope you move from bigger pockets to a "fatter wallet!"

I recommend a MF mentor / coach who's doing larger deals for consideration after you have read a few sound books on MF investing and also hooking into some local MF meetup groups in your area.  

I've been to a few seminars and luckily avoided the high cost of the coaching packages.
