I've been a licensed real estate broker in the past, have taken the appraisal courses, but didn't take the test, and now a licensed contractor and plumber, and soon to be electrician and hvac.

My question then is should I cosign with my father who has a lower credit score than my sister or should I look for something cheaper like a single family and do a brrrr strategy/flip it? 

Hi Layton,Welcome to the real estate world!  

I’m ready to jump into the real estate game but I don’t know where to start.

Some states require you to be a real estate agent, I think some even require you to take property management courses.

I am no longer a licensed mortgage broker, however, I was a lender for 11 years prior to getting my real estate license. 

What's the lowest credit score you will allow?

I am a local Long Island Real Estate Agent covering everything from investment opportunities, development opportunities, home selling, home buying and everything in between. 

The real savings and benefits come when you're purchasing an existing LLC or corporation that already holds the property, rather than forming a new entity and buying the property directly.
