House Hack vs Live-in Fix & Flip

Hello, 

I am brand new to REI, I am currently renting an apartment with my brother, in college, and graduate next May. I am hoping to get a head start on my REI journey before I graduate. I have been doing some research in REI and I am thinking between either starting with house hacking or a live-in fix and flip. I have some experience with construction as I have worked in commercial and residential construction a little over a year, so I was thinking of doing a lot of the renovations myself. I don't know if starting with a fix and flip would be too formidable. I have been looking at some areas in the north side and west side of San Antonio.

Does anyone know or have any advice on if a house hack or live-in fix & flip as a first-time strategy would be better, and what would work better for either of these areas in San Antonio?
