Seeking advise on first steps

[Jennah Sontag]

Hi there! I'm new to investing and am trying to decide the best first step for my first investment. I'm considering multi-fam, SFH, turnkeys, or a large SFH with a high appreciation rate. How do you decide?! Is it better to build a portfolio with as many smaller investments/more doors as possible, or one larger/single door investment? I'm not in a position to do any house hacking or invest in a primary, so I'm considering alt. strategies. I wish to invest in other states, not locally (MO), across the midwest and south. Thanks for any advise you have to share!
