I was just starting out at my first career-job out of college, and I knew I wanted to aggressively save for long-term growth.

If you're in the getting-started phase of your investing career, I'll first suggest you focus on the cooperative assignment strategy rather than a sandwich lease, which it sounds like you are considering. 

It's really hard for me to imagine getting into real estate without BP.It's also given me the courage to make some pretty huge career changes as well.

I have a side gig or two like any person who is trying to get together extra money to start their investing career, and one of those is walking dogs.

This whole process seems within my scope of abilities at this point in my RE investing career but I am a little unclear on how to time everything.

My reason for making the transition is that I eventually want to own single family rentals and small multifamily properties and feel that working in PM will give me a strong foundation to learn the business of owning and running rentals as I begin my own investing career.

My goal with investing is to provide a better life for my family and have a more secure retirement from my career.

I used to own homes but when I moved to the new area, I opted to rent since I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay around.. now regretting I didn't just buy.Small familyA decent career - ~$200K yr, great credit (800s)Not much saved (thanks to a surgery that drained a ton of my savings) will recover over time - ~$40K ready for down payment into a property- which is needed since I'm renting a home, need to get something anywayAbout $40K in debt - a little on a card, mostly a truck payment - low interestDallas, TX area- thinking the north area- which is a hotter market, higher cost than I am used to, high property taxesGuessing my budget would be about $350K max to start for a property.Curious what would you do to get started in my scenario?

That's great to be good at networking, that can really help launch your career.
