What assets are most profitable starting off with little money ?

For my money these days if I didn't have at least $20k then I'd look to invest in in a REIT, 1st time investor special window in a syndication, or I'd be a Private Money lender to another investor at a guaranteed rate of return. Then I'd try to sponge up all the knowledge possible and grow my capital stack.

low priced SFR that can be purchased as primary home with low down / fixed up and then either sold or rented

Hi @Kelvin Richards! That's a pretty broad question and it depends in part on your desire to be involved with your investments or to be passive. That aside, I'd recommend that you look for recession resistant asset types. Assets that usually do well in good times and bad. There are no recession proof asset types of course, but recession resistance is what I would go for. On a more granular level I would look for specific assets that have a lot of intrinsic value built in. Assets that can be modified (value-add for example) to produce more cashflow, more value, and create outsized appreciation. Feel free to reach out if I can help. Happy investing!

Single family is a easy entry point, buy something that needs work and force appreciation.
