What's most profitable?

[Ryan Harris]

I'm getting ready to purchase my first home. I know you can make money with real estate if you do it right but I'm not sure which would be a wiser decision. I'm deciding between buying a house and then keeping it and using it as a rental property, or buying a house and trying to sell it to make money. I am single and 22 so I do not have a family to worry about providing a place to stay. Also should i buy a cheaper place around 25k which I could pay off much more quickly and start making profit or something around 75k which could potentially rent/ sell for more?
Thank you for all advice
