I'm a new investor with some cash, how to start my baby steps?
I have about $300,000 from saving and (soon) Heloc. It's my first step getting into the CRE door. What types of properties are easier to get into? Price range? Value add or stabilized? Should I go solo and buy a small one? Or find other GP? Or syndication? 

I am in great SF area, CA. Where to find potential GPs?
