Money for One Deal, Duplex or Single Family?
Hello,
I have money for one deal but can’t decide what is better, a duplex/triplex out of state (Maine probably) or rent my current primary residence, upgrade, rinse and repeat.
Any help is appreciated!

Quote from @Samuel Diouf:
Your second strategy is similar to house-hacking and is a great strategy if you want to be less hands on.
If you want to go the OOS multifamily route, it will require a little more work, but you can scale pretty quick when investing in the right markets.
Thanks Samuel. There’s so many good strategies it’s hard y to pick one, but these two seem best for me.
