[Jorge Martinez]

Hi My Name is Jorge I'm trying to start My Real Estate Investment Journey. I have tried Wholesale but no luck YET. I Know what I want and I want to own and hold properties. The thing is I have enough to put down for and FHA LOAN, but I'm not sure if I should HOUSE HACKED(duplex, triplex, forplex) or just find a way to own my first rental property by using OPM?

My plan was to HOUSE HACK move out after a year and do it again and by the 3rd year purchase  3 single family homes and maybe move into one. So on and on that was my plan. 

MY question is what would you recommend? What Would make it easier ( I know is going to take a lot of work) to built wealth?
