Is it wrong to go BIG for first deal??

[Jonathan Ruiz]

I have the funds up to $200k. Been loOking up to $1M multi family apartments for a first deal!! Seems more attractive to me than buying a few SFH.

Am I biting off more than I can chew for first deal?! Please any advice would be great

My first deal was a 48 unit, never did single family at all myself.  

Having said that, it's definitely not the easiest route but I'm very glad I did it that way.  I did have someone walking me through the process from beginning to end including the sale a little over 2 years later.

If you have someone to lean on I would always "go big".  The quicker you can develop scale the easier it gets if you do it all yourself (management).  My 300 unit is easier than that 48 unit; I have more and better quality staff to handle all of the day-to-day and I get to just lead the team.
