Build a big deal, or focus on monopoly method?

[Scott Johnson]

Hello all,
I've been wholesaling and learning about acquiring rentals (own 1 property so far) for about one and a half years now, but is it really the best and highest use of my time?
I've played monopoly and really get the 4 houses for 1 hotel, but I also know people looking to buy into apartment buildings in my area.
Would it be a good idea me to spend my time building deals on apartment complexes or should I stick to finding smaller deals until I can trade them in to get into a larger deal?
