Where to start/in what order to buy.
I am just starting out in REI (have never purchased a house before), but I have listened to BP a lot, read a lot of the books etc, and want to get started. I have capital but am unsure where to begin, my goals over the next 1-5 years are to buy as many (5+) multi-families as possible, my primary residence and a lake house for STR (and to work from/enjoy during the week as I WFH), I'd also like to flip 1 house next year to learn the processes etc (and scale that up after). I am unsure how to allocate capital though, since it's my first home purchase, I can house hack or buy my primary @ 3% down, and save the rest so I have 20% down for the other purchases etc. How can I maximize my leverage, and are there any good resources for someone that's just starting out in REI, but has some leeway (flexible on the housing situation etc), that also has some capital saved?
