@Joel SiguawDo nothing with it until you educate yourself to know what you are doing.

I'd say your first move should be to house hack and get out of the apartment, this is the most beginner-friendly way to get started, and as you continue to educate yourself you'll be better equipped to find other deals as you learn.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

You are correct I am utilizing my journey as an educational tool for others.
