Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment.

Quote from @Reed Rickenbach: John - as long as you are still following strict screening criteria I agree for single family.

Upon closing my single family construction my home had about 25% in equity on day one(in 2018 in Tennessee). 

So I bought a single family home for 315k that was considered inhabitable.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Hey BP family, I'm currently trying to help out a family in need from having to foreclose on there property by taking over subject to, it has a high interest rate although the entry is around 20k I want to wholesale this ultimately Is it possible for me, to disregard my initial assignment fee to get a buyer asap and add a 2nd lien on the property as my fee? 

Welcome to the BiggerPockets family!

Flipping works well if you’ve got solid contractor connections, while rentals (like single-family homes) can be great with a BRRRR approach.

I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

It can be a great option as families combine and parents or grandparents need less space, need to be closer to family but still want their own unit.
