Focus on growing your w2 income.  Real estate is tough to get into if you have neither time or money. Also as has been stated rehabbing may not be the way to go for you.  You may want to look into buy and hold and look for properties that don't need a ton of work.

 Who says you need to buy a building that needs to be renovated?

As far as I can tell, the answer is OVERTIME.  To get ahead, we're going to have to work overtime and give up sleep, time with family, alcohol etc.  But it is worth it.  I fill my head with stories about people who put in the time and made it big.  I just listened to THE WEALTH CHOICE. Made me feel like a spoiled brat and helped me get up earlier in the AM to get s%&$ done!  Essentially, all the podcasts tell us to be Buddhist.  "Life is suffering, it has a purpose, learn to deal with it, it will be worth it".

The Wealth Choice is the podcast name?  @Anna Catron

I like this post, and I don't like many posts. I appreciate you cutting to the chase. I will do in kind.

The short answer is - someone else's money.

The real answer, though, is that in order to attract said money to do these deals you have to have an uncommon amount of knowledge, and this takes time.

There's just no way around it. Good luck!

@Ben Leybovich thanks brother!

I appreciate you liking it.   I get straight to the point. 

I have a lot to learn.  Period.   

Get some. 

@James Wise you’re right man.  I just kinda typed a post with what came to my mind a that time. 

Now I'm thinking about turnkey and furthermore, whether I want to buy a townhouse down the block from me, or look at a multi unit. Without any experience, I don't know what the best ROI is. So I'm going to have to learn here from all you fine people.

Safer than syndicates( which will need a lot  more work to not lose your money), one other option, which is completely passive, is REITS,  e.g. https://investor.vanguard.com/...
