I am very new to investing and don't really know where to start! I am looking at different options. Buying cheap land, buying a cheap property to flip or buying a property to rent out. How do I pick? Where should I start to learn which option is better? Thanks!

Hello Natasha,

Welcome to BP. I think one of the best things we can do in business or life is to sit down and determine our end goals. When faced with so many opportunities or routes we can take, I usually try to figure out where I want to end up, then work backwards to find the best method of arriving at that end goal. Just this weekend I took out some paper and wrote down things that I would like to accomplish this year and mapped out my path to get there.

Please let me know if I could be of help in any way as I am a realtor / investor in Brevard County FL. About 2 hours away. From Ft. Lauderdale or so.
