However, my true goal has always been to develop, buy, and manage real estate—something I’ve dreamed about since I was 12 years old.

So it's not somewhere in between, it's heavily imbalanced to predatory behavior like the OP.

A landlord policy can be a commercial policy or a personal lines policy.It's the same as asking if you should buy a single family rental or a 1 unit building.Focus on the coverages and disregard the name of the policy.

However I also recommend anyone purchasing real estate in an LLC being able to articulate precisely why they are buying their real state in that entity with a full understanding of the benefits.

This could help stabilize home prices and create buying opportunities for investors and first-time homebuyers.

After staging, it was sold to a retail buyer for a strong profit, demonstrating the potential for significant returns by buying from motivated sellers, renovating strategically, and selling at retail.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Step 2: Narrow down your "buy box" (are you market-indifferent, are you looking for a certain level of cash flow, etc.).Step 3: Connect with real estate agents and begin making offers!
