From Portland and looking to start investing for the first time.

*This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I am interested in buying a two family house using seller financing.

In the short term, I aim to replace my monthly income from my current entry-level job, I dont make a ton of money so this shouldn't be too difficult.

The seller was able to walk away from a bad situation with some money in her pocket, we will be helping her move and relocate into an apartment.

I would like to solicit feedback from both consumers and the pros on the feasibiltiy of buying a nice house near the beach near retail (I'm thinking NJ), then flipping it as quarter-share fractional interests at a premium.

Also would appreciate any advice in general for someone starting out in real estate investing this way, or an insights on the SA/Boerne market.Thanks ya'll look forward to hearing from you!

So, now I’m looking for advice on where a new investor should begin in this community—whether it’s podcasts, books, or even specific forums within BiggerPockets.I am really eager to learn, grow, make and learn from my mistakes, take calculated risks and in short dive into this whole heartedly. 

Quote from @Zachary Jensen: Hey Nathaniel, In this scenario, when selling the property for $800k, depreciation recapture would be a key consideration.
