OP don’t answer any of these points.  Your best first investment is around your living and family situation.

1.  Married kids, kids ages.

2. Job situations, tied to town, state or near family. Can you move? How much pay do you have to replace with REI?

3.  Equity in your house.

4.  Accessible cash for downpayment and capex, your financing mechanism what percentage downpayment?

5.  Free time why?  Are your kids 5 or 15?  Do you have sick parents?  Or is this for you personally?

6.  Are your personal debt and expenditures under control?  Real estate investing won’t help.

Once you have the above laid out.  Then start learning and looking for an RE investment that fits that model.

Hi Delaney. Are you looking to actively be involved in the operation and management of the investment? I invest in the tristate area and I’m always looking for investors.
