I'm making a relatively large investment (1m+) in the restaurant Industry so most of my time will be focused on running my restaurants.I'd like to keep my investment low until I get my feet wet.

I really want to get my feet wet on the rental market and learn more(My family friend also has another property right next to this one. 

My plan isTo purchase a small multi family house hack in Southern NH to get my feet wet.

I am looking to invest in California first get my feet wet then maybe get a few out of state.

And while I don't have any true credibility and transactions under my belt yet, I'll be more than happy to share my experience and information that I will learn through not only attending my local REIA and networking meetings, but really getting out there and getting my feet wet.

I wasn't able to find an end buyer for both the properties but thats ok because I was looking to get  my feet wet with process!

Get your feet wet before you jump in the deep end.

Something fun to get my feet wet in the business.

I support the idea of helping people get back on their feet all while getting yourself potentially cheaper labor, but it really sounds too complex to make sense for a novice flipper.It sounds like you're trying to start a contracting company AND a flipping business at the same time.I'd recommend getting your feet wet with just doing a few flips first and go from there.  

I have read a lot on the forums and listened to a lot of podcasts and am leaning towards investing in multifamily areas in CA outside of the bay area (price is the big reason) hopefully within driving distance.I am looking at places like Merced and other college towns with a clear growth potential and lower home prices to get my feet wet.
