Curious where everyone really makes money

[Ken H.]

Hello may I ask of any pointers or suggestions where anyone is doing well and what strategy.  I was a small investor in the past in single family homes, buy and hold, rent them out kind of thing but honestly it did not do well for me.  I'm more financially stable again and would like to invest my money wisely this time in real estate.  If anyone would care to share their success in what areas in the U.S. I would like to join that sort of campaign and not lose money on my second go at this.  Thank you.

To me the buy and hold is usually more about long term gradual type of investing 

Flipping quickly with numerous properties has been a better way to increase my bankroll
I am looking to combine the 2 next year. Buy value add multi families. Fix up, increase rents/lower vacancies  and then sell approx 3 years after buying
