Quote from @Timothy Villa: Hey Everyone, I am very to to real estate investing and trying to learn about many of the different strategies.

@Mario Niccolini There's quite a few asset types and strategies that fall between SFH's and 20+ apartment buildings.

This is dependent on your personal situation and strategy.

I like your strategies!

I'm from Leesburg, and I can tell you—multi-family is a solid choice (piggybacking the previous comments which I agree 💯), especially with that live-in/rent-out, house hack strategy.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

The next option is to get the device (you can get on Amazon) that shows the meter for what one unit is pulling versus the other.

The BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) could also be a great strategy to recycle your capital.To find deals, try direct mail campaigns targeting absentee owners or distressed properties, or go driving for dollars in neighborhoods with strong rental potential.

And what strategy are you looking to utilize of investing? 

What real estate tax saving strategies have you utilized with other clients?
