I'm looking to get involved with some Real Estate investing.

Is financing involved or are you a cash investor. 

Any tips, feedback, or people interested in this that would want to share some knowledge or even get involved with it let me hear from you. 

Hey guys.So I am currently in that space where I’ve been reading books and listening to podcasts but I am still about a year away from my first purchase (at least 6 months).To make a long story short, I’m cleaning up a mess a younger me didn’t realize would put a monkey wrench in the plan my current self has created to help me achieve financial freedom.With all the knowledge and experience everyone has been sharing, I’ve been feeling like I wanted to contribute to the community as well.But how does someone with no experience contribute to this wonderful community?

wholesaling is not a full time gig and I'm not involved in it. 

My older sister is already wants to get involved and she's a stay at home mom, so this was a section of the business I was considering having her learn.

If the building WAS a SFR at one point, then you might need to some serious investigative work to make sure all of the utilities and plumbing are cleanly partitioned.

Can you clean up the existing house, rent it out until you get all your ducks in a row.

I also am involved with my church: a part of my focus is to develop leadership in the youth band as well as a young adult band.

Just that the market combined with your state of mind tells me clean break.You can sell all as a package and 1031 into a passive investment and collect your 7% - 8% for the next 20 years but its too small for a big group without a  huge hair cut.
