Looking to sell my primary residence soon and will have approx. $150k in equity after closing costs, etc.

You can buy a single family home, live in it for a year, then rent it out afterwards, and that would effectively be an investment property after you moved out, but you also got the more beneficial terms of it being a primary residence loan.You could buy a single family home and rent out bedrooms while you are living there, and that would effectively be an investment property, but again, you have the more beneficial terms of a primary residence loan.I wouldn't get caught up so much on if a property you buy is an investment immediately so much as I would focus on what your goals are and how each purchase would be step towards your goals, whether that is house hacking or just buying investment properties you don't live in. 

Are you establishing residency and/or renting the property? 

Then using the recoup to fund my primary residence BRRRR to then fund my transition into SFR BRRRR.

From my observation/experience, Berryessa and Piedmont Hills areas are more family-oriented, so the demand there is generally for primary residences, renters, or travelers visiting families.

I reside in Hattiesburg and I recently invested 5K on a Wholesale Program, thinking it would be really hands on and structured more like a mentor program.

I believe you can, as long as you both owner-occupy the residence!
