help with a question

[Jad Rahouly]

Hey, if there are any good real estate investors who can answer my question it would be great. So I'm 20 years old and Im learning about the real estate investing business but i don't know if I should dive straight to investing or if I should do fix and flip first or maybe wholesaling and then start investing?

@Jad Rahouly Are you already educated in the aspects of investing?  That's the real first step. Maybe find a local mentor or pay for a coaching program. My advice is no to wholesaling as a first step - it's much harder than you think. No to flipping as this is the hardest and finding deals near SF will be near impossible.  The strategy should be rental properties that will pay now and later, but you need to educated beyond reading posts. If that's a bit harsh, then congratulations you just had your first mentoring moment.
