New to REI...NEEDS GUIDANCE

[Tranice Davis]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to investing. I do not have any skill set in real estate investing, however, I've been reading books and listing to podcasts on real estate investing. My challenge is picking a niche for starting out.. what would be a good niche for starting out.. is it wholesaling, flipping, rehabbing, or landlording.. I need a great deal of wisdom and guidance...Thanks

@Tranice Davis Welcome to BiggerPockets! You have already found the best resource available to you online for real estate investing and its right here! I suggest typing "Atlanta" or whichever suburb you are interested in (its good to find a neighborhood that's convenient to you so that you can monitor your investment) in the search box and seeing what comes up. I would also suggest going to REI events here and the best place to start for that is joining this website http://www.meetup.com/AtlantaREIA/. Its a great place to meet people with experience in the business. As for what specific area to aim for when starting out, it depends on how quickly you want your investment returned and which neighborhoods you are interested in. If you can clarify that information for me I would be happy to help!
