Preparing to do my first deal

I've been paying off bad debt from a failed business for 4 years and think I'll be clear in the next 6 months. I'm ready to start investing in real estate, I've been reading as many books on the subject as I have time for, and working to line up my equity in my home to get started on top of a self directed 401k I can take loans from. I a few questions at this point. I'm interested in multi family investing. Should I wait until I have cash outside my home equity/401k available? Should I start with a SFH for experience? I found a Mobile home park that on paper has solid cash flow, how different is the process of financing on mobile home parks? Should I be more experienced before going this route? It's a bit generic as far a questions go but I'm trying to get lined up now and ready when the old mouse trap of a business debt is out of my life.
