Beginner investing STR vs LTR

[Spencer Gregory]

I'm 21 and I've been wanting to start my real estate investment but haven't decided what is best for me if I should do an LTR or STR.
I want an STR so I can make money but also have a vacation spot if family wanted to have a place to stay in said location 

I kind of like LTR for like duplexes, tri's, and etc since I could do the whole FHA and house hack it with little money down since I travel for work I wouldn't really be living there too much anyways

So I was just wondering what everyone thinks would be the best route for someone getting into real estate very young and any tips or suggestions would be great

Thanks and have a good day!
