Myself, I would like to invest in MHP or multifamily as a CO-GP ideally with an experienced investor.

Having gone through this project has really helped me focus on actions that drive me towards me ideal life. 

What would be an ideal first step to take to begin my journey?

Have good working capital and would be starting off with this (a larger one will be my primary residence ideally).

Were also moving to the Denver area from California ideally by the end of this quarter, and the CA home will be sold and used for the new home.Here's the dilemma.After the house in CA is sold, we figure we will walk with a minimum of 800k with a more realistic number around 900k.

., location not so ideal but high traffic area, selling as is, fixer upper.Cash or owner financing only - 300K down.Thinking of making an offer of 450K to pay cash, using HELOC.Thoughts?

@Kristine E.

Also do you have schedule E income showing that you are renting a property that you're claiming is your second home? 

If you don't take the standard deduction (and most do these days) you could deduct the interest on your mortgage.Looking ahead to next year, you'll file a Schedule E.

Ideally located in the SoCal area.
