If you had to Start from Scratch

Hypothetically, if you were a year out of college, working a good paying W2 job and were looking to invest in real estate what would be your ideal first move? Would it be single family rental, multifamily rental, an FHA house hack, wholesaling, or something like house flipping? Also, what would be realistic amount to have ready for an investment on a property? Would you advise someone who's been saving for real estate investing for a year to potentially wait another year to have more money to get in the game or jump into the game right now?

As always, thank you for your comments

Hello @Chezare Bonilla

Ah...to be young again. I agree with @Joaquin Camarasa on every point. But me personally, if I had it all to do over again, I would have dived right into a househack needing a little work right after college. Particularly if single without children. What a great way to learn and prepare.
