Where to start?

[Michelle Tanguay McIntosh]

Good morning all. I am new to the site and new to real estate investing. I have no clue what or how to get started. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nikki, 
First, you need to identify the market where you plan to invest. Determine if you're looking for local or out-of-state investments. Second, conduct thorough research and connect with investors in your chosen market. This will provide you valuable insights into what the market offers. Also you need to need to know your strategy: BRRRR or turnkey rentals?

If you are looking to invest out-of-state, I recommend you read this article on OOS investing. It explains the importance of creating your core four. You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.
