I brought up numerous times my concern for the rates going up and actually told him I would want to wait to get an investment property because I KNEW what Canada was in for.

@Stacy Tsai along with meetups, there are numerous books on the subject in the BiggerPockets library and “Flip” by Keller Publishing.

You are taking a monumental step towards a really fun and rewarding future. 

You can do both.What is your risk/reward level?

The space recently became available, and I have received numerous people wanting to rent this space with an RV but sleep in the RV as well.

I'm wrapping up my first duplex house hack in DFW (selling off-market now) and it's been by far the most rewarding experience, so much so I'm transitioning careers to get more involved in RE! 

(Risk- incentive- reward...)

I think you may have very well narrowed down my strategy choices down to one of three; the BRRRR method (although this might be too much to start with for a newbie), the live-in flip that you mentioned (probably the most practical as I've been part of many different projects in the construction industry), and a combination of house-hacking/live-in flip (probably the most rewarding with a potential to swap between units as I finish one in order to bring better rental income).

Over the past six months, numerous people talked and fantasized about all of the discounted deals that they planned to scoop up in multifamily.

More risk = more reward
