Let's say you had $30,000 to play with

[Ian Akash Morrison]

Let's say you're starting out, you have almost no experience in real estate investing but are now your own boss.  You've got $30,000 to play with.

How would you use that capital?

What markets would you look at? What strategies make the most sense to pursue?

With no experience, I'd find the cheapest turnkey property I can, and do a conventional loan where you put down 20-25% and start renting it out.
