Where would you start?

Hi my name is Alyssa and I just started my STR journey, I live in California which has tons of restrictions for STRs.

I believe everyone's first property should be a house hack just starting out and happy to explain how to do it.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.I've started that process and am super impressed at how responsive people have been!

Check out buy.rabbu -- it'll show you on-market properties in those areas that are underwritten as STRs. makes analysis and getting started a bit easier :) 

Flipping is a high risk high reward endeavor, especially with people just starting out. 

I am planning on starting my investment journey here as well and beginning with house hacking.

It takes a lot of capital invested to start making enough returns to match your current income.
