How do I get started with building a rental portfolio?

[Summit Aryal]

If you had $250k ready to invest, how would you invest it to get the best returns as well as build a portfolio? Fix and flip, BRRRR, or leverage the money to get a 1M+ rental property? My friends and I make decent money from our jobs so we won't be dependent on the cash flow it generates. The plan right now is to do a BRRRR with a 200k property and learn from it. I like the idea of not having money tied to one property and keep it moving. Any advice is appreciated.
