@Marlen Weber Thank you!  I will be working a full time job along with starting my real estate journey, so ideally the least amount of required time possible would be the best!

Hi all!

I am starting out on my real estate journey, and I am trying to determine which type of real estate property I should invest in to start off on the right path.  I am trying to determine if starting out with a single family home would be a better starting point since I'd only be handling one family/tenant, or if it would be okay to start with a small multifamily property.  I plan to utilize property management regardless of what type of property I purchase, but I was wondering what advice any of you may have in regards to starting off.

I look forward to hearing any and all advice you all can provide!

@Christina Linn thank you so much for the great advice!  Those are the kinds of things I've heard positives and negatives about, so it's always great to hear perspective from someone who has lived it!

Amazing - thank you so much for the suggestion!  I will definitely look into that further!

Although you have to live in the unit for the first two years or the duration of the loan depending on the loan, would you recommend I landlord the property myself, or would you recommend property management?  I'm not sure how much flexibility I'd have to solve problems for tenants during my first few years on a new job, and I would not want that to impact the tenant's quality of living!

Again, thank you so much for the feedback!  I look forward to hearing more from all of you!

Hey Jake!

My initial goal is to invest in either a rental property, or a property big enough for myself to allow for something like an AirBnB!  Being right out of college the first thing I'd love to do is set up an outside revenue stream until I am on feet and have the funds to purchase more properties where I can really grow my portfolio.

Do you have any tips on how to go about this?

Thank you!

Hey everyone!  I am a student at Purdue University in Indiana, and I am just starting to get into the actual investing side of real estate after learning about it for a long time!

I'm not quite sure where I'll end up after graduation, so I was hoping I could get some tips on how to start investing at a fairly young age and remotely!  I have been listening to the BP podcast for a little over a year now and read a few of the books, but I would love to hear your thoughts!  I'm either looking to move to the west coast (Bay Area in California), or Cincinnati, Ohio after I graduate next year!

Any tips, tricks, comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!
