Hello, I've gotten my feet 'reasonably wet' on home flips and now have gotten my first request to serve as investor on a commercial property.

I had to find something to do and someone to do it with to occupy my time.Not trying to be a wet blanket, just something to ponder.

If you can buy a little place for yourself that is a good way to get your feet wet.

@Melba Chambers start with a condo or townhome then graduate from there... get your feet wet by finding what you’re good at then expand to bigger things from there...

Needless to say I am very much wet behind the ears and do not know what I am doing beyond reading REI books.

.; a plumber/maintenance person) for tenants to call in the event of a leak/flood, with a big sign that says "IN CASE OF LEAKS/FLOODS/OVERFLOWS, CONTACT: ..."... and maybe some other instructions for them to follow if there's a leak (like instructions to set up a "slippery / wet floor" sign if there's a leak)Definitely let us know how it goes--I'd be interested to hear how it performs and what lessons you learn in the process once it's been up and running for a bit...Good luck out there!

Hello, I am a new investor and was thinking I'd start with a single family home to wet my beak a little in the real estate game.

Get your feet wet. 

This would be my first deal so trying to get my feet wet relatively inexpensive.

I am in Southern California, so I think I would have to look at an out of state market to get my feet wet.
