But, that aside, I’d like to initiate a discussion of where note investors feel the opportunities will lie moving forward.I’ll go first.  

I've been reading books on the subject (Small and Might Real estate investor) and listening to the BP podcasts for a few months now, and I was initially very excited about finding a multi-family property to start out, in order to maximize my leverage against an FHA loan.

The best part is the free CD is nothing more than a bunch of vague suggestions about how you can make all this money in real estate and vague bragging sessions about how he has been around so long and wants to give you all his knowledge before he croaks (paraphrased) Someday I will be completely immune to the crooks attempts at separating me from my hard earned money.

Was sold above the asking price                   within days of listing.High ROI: Achieved a 50% return on investment due to low renovation costs and increased sale price.Investor PerspectiveRecognized the potential others overlooked by seeing beyond the property's initial appearance andm aximized profits by investing wisely in visible, impactful areas.

But, this property was initially listed at $1.6mil and came off the market. 

My initial investment there started off a bit rocky.

Initially we did a light renovation on the rental unit and a larger renovation on the 1st floor.

This kind of govt nosiness and overreach is why I initially decided against the financial planning industry before starting in credit. you can thank 2008 and all the fraud that went on for that.

I have gotten accelerated depreciation that has exceeded my initial investment.Now add that you could perform a value add to create some sweat equity. 

This approach would allow me to learn with each deal and minimize initial risks.2️⃣ Go Straight to Multifamily: Instead of starting with SFHs, I could spend time learning the multifamily business and go directly for a 20+ unit building, maximizing scalability from the start.I have no experience with either strategy.If you were in my position, which strategy would you choose and why?
