The dude asking for advice is a 33 year old retired NFL player and she recommended he check out a $5 or $10 book written by another 33 year old retired NFL player.

Super complicated and an absolute specialty I dont know how smaller players bust into this. 

Myself I thought about 2017 was going to be kind of the end of the 10 year cycle and I actually put a presentation together called the Pivot looking at alternative ways to invest in RE. 

Start niching down now, master your chosen property type, and don’t pivot until you’ve got it dialed in.3.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

Are you doubling down on short-term rentals in tourist-heavy areas, pivoting to long-term rentals in growing suburban markets, diving into value-add multifamily properties, or exploring something completely different?

I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.And yeah, the Phoenix area has some really down to earth investor meetups, from what I’ve heard, that can help you level up fast.What aspect of the business are you most excited to tackle first.. managing construction, or scouting out those under the radar leads?

However, very glad that we pivoted to mid-term rental approach around $4,500 to $5,000 that has helped address vacancy.

I was eventually going to pivot to multi family after getting my feet wet with fix and flip, but I am wondering if I should just jump in right away.

Its all a learning process. if they can continue to pivot and make adjustments, when necessary, they will do wonderful.
