Starting up a real estate portfolio

Wyatt Dixon

Hello,

I'm fresh out of college and have been trying to get into real estate for the past 4 years while in school. Now that I'm out and have a job I'm saving money to get a first property. I could spend anywhere from $1000 - $3000 on a down payment for something. What would be best to start out with: rentals, DIY renovation, or any other option. I can find any amount of properties in my area by driving around or the internet, that's not an issue, but I dont know what would be my best option financially to start.

Side note: I currently dont have many expenses and know a few do-it-all people that could help with renovations and am somewhat handy myself.
