Hey TY, I only do off-market DTS, but I would recommend partnering at first with an experienced on-market wholesaler or a fix-and-flip investor so you can have better credentials when submitting an offer. 

I'd recommend keeping it in the bank until you have learned enough to make intelligent investment decisions.Personally, I would do the following:500,000 - Gold, Bitcoin - Always prudent to hedge your bets.1,000,000 - Cash.

Hi all,As the title suggests I am hoping to get some recommendations about my path forward in real estate investing from those who are more knowledgeable and experienced than myself. 

Single bath houses are both harder to rent and sell then 2 bath houses Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Ideal for me.The only issue is structural issues; the agent recommended that I go with a FHA 203K loan.

What percent earnest do you recommend?

Sending good karma and warm, fuzzy vibes for anybody interested in sharing recommendations on my questions! 

Please share recommendations on where to buy basic furniture (sofa, chair, end tables, coffee tables, dressers for bedrooms,etc) that will last through the years but also be reasonable. 

I'm setting up our basement apartment as an Airbnb and need a recommendation for a reliable cleaning service.

I highly recommend you educate yourself on how to handle problems before the problem is a problem.
