Which route is best for beginner?

[Michael Antoszek]

Hey guys new member here, I've been looking to jump into real estate investing for quite sometime now. I've listened to a lot of the BP podcasts and read the BP rental property book. Me and my brother are stuck deciding on which route to take for investing and I was hoping to get some feedback from some of the members on here. We've been thinking about getting a SFH and do the BRRRR method and scale out or jump straight into a MF. I'm curious what you guys think would be best for a beginner. We're located in the south suburbs of chicago, we have about 40k saved.
