So... back to home search.My issue is the following: I am torn betweenA. investing right away into a 2-family B&H house, to get to live in 1 unit and rent the other for profitB. getting my first single family home to move away from renting, start building some equity, and keep my mind clear to focus on investing.Advantages of A: getting right away immersed into the joy of landlording, receiving cashflow income, investing in a liquid multi-family property that may appreciate more than single family...Advantages of B: cheaper, easier process, less overhead, build equity, more cash available for investing, more choice...Initially, I wanted to go for the 2-family house, plan A, for all the reasons above.

I would like to keep my full-time job, but also immerse myself into my investments.

My question is directed at more of gaining an immersive experience of the flipping process during my final semester in undergrad.    

For people that want to build real wealth, immersing yourself in high value investments from the beginning is the only way to learn. 

Through all of this, the public continues to be scammed by these game players.

As someone else said, educate and immerse yourself in RE & your confidence will grow because you will feel that you have something to contribute.

I personally know people that have been messed over by these game players.

Those are game players and hurt not only the public, but potentially yourself.

Are most of these people game players, deceiving sellers, etc?

Immerse yourself in the community.
