The best toe to dip in real estate investing is house hacking small multifamily.Cuts your housing expense down to almost nothing (if you bought right) and you still get super low down payment options.Fix and flips / Wholesaling don't work if your just dipping your toe, you better get ready to dive in to make money with either.

I’d love to hear from both experienced developers and investors dipping their toes in.

If it is a sore thumb, options could include painting (see if that has been done on other homes) or put on siding. 

•If all fails, they’re main job is to house hunt whatever ur criteria is so just be on ur toes, don’t trust whatever “speculation” they have, use ur investor brain. don’t be afraid to say NO, because they can pressure you. *10 showings or two weeks (whichever comes first) move on to another realtor or realtor company. you got this.

Good to e-meet you. 

I'm wanting to dip my toes into investment real estate and the goal is to eventually be a full-time real estate investor.

If we just wanted to dip our toes and trial it out with 25K, should we look into notes, real estate funds, or something else?  

Hi Randi, Nice to e-meet you!

Please feel free to e-mail me your questions. 

It’s a manageable way to dip your toes in and get a feel for how everything works.
