What route should I take?
Ok so I have been doing a ton of research and study and I am to the point that I want to take action and do my first deal. I am currently 21 years old and have been recently married and my wife and I both know that the sooner we get started on our real estate journey the better it will be for us later on. I am just having a hard time deciding what my beginning strategy should be. My dad is an electrical contractor, so I've been around the construction side of things my whole life and even been apart of a few house flips with my dad, so that makes me want to maybe start that way. But on the other hand we are already getting sick of paying this much for our rent which makes us really want to do a house hack and start building equity while lowering our rent. I guess my question is just what I should do or what strategy we should start with. My wife is going to college in the town we are living in so i'd like to make this market work but its not like one of the top markets that people are investing in today so will that be bad? Any advice would be awesome!
