What route did you take?

With such a good mix of experience levels on BP I'm curious to know what route did you all take to get to your first deal. Buy and hold? Wholesale? Rehab? And why?

My husband is active duty navy. We got started with a personal property with the VA loan. Once we were transferred we rent the those out. The bug bit us so we bought another investment. We invest my income into rentals and buy at every duty makes sense. 4.5 years later we have 7 houses and a growing empire.
