Starting my journey to REI

[Joel Urena]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,

I am now on my third week of listening to Brandon in his webinars and reading about house hacking and real estate investing. I am super pumped and excited to start this new journey. I was looking at all my options of the best way to start and I wanted to see what you think. I purchased my home 2 years ago (4 bedroom, 2 baths, with garage) and looking to move out to rent it out and buy a second property, which will be a duplex or triplex (not sure if I should also consider another single family?). When considering my options to rent my home, I was considering renting it either to a family or by room. In addition, I would only rent 3 out of the 4 rooms so that I can keep one (smallest room) for myself as a "tenant" and be able to monitor/supervise the tenants. Any thoughts?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, any advise is welcome.
