Do you know what location/area you are going to start investing in?

@Jim Stanleyyes, you start with a standard purchase contract, that calls for clear title, and title insurance.  

There are stories everyday now how people who used to make 50-80k working for someone else started their own business and are making 400K a year.

Here is what PGE offers for Mfgs.Ready to get started?

I'm uncertain whether to wait until we settle down before starting our real estate investment journey or to purchase a home at our next location and rent it out when we move again.

When I first started about a year ago, Furnished Finder recommended pricing $300-500 a month above LTR rates.

So, if you buy a SEVERELY distressed property in a cheap market for $20k, invest $20k to rehab the property and it appraises for $80k, you can refinance out $60k (75% LTV) and have MORE money back in your pocket than you started with.

I then start advertising the unit with signs and on online venues, showing it to qualified prospects during those last 30 days.

I think many that start wholesaling have very little knowledge in real estate.

We also have access to a $30k HELOC, fixed 8.5%.The current mortgage is $1600 and exact units in our block are renting for $2600+/mo, but the property doesn't pass the 1% rule.We want to start investing in RE again.
