I have found my market and have created my team thus far. 

Although I did buy 37 doors in two props this fall  but its the first time i tried MF  and it was unique circumstances.   27 unit we bought for at least a million under market so turn around refi pull cash out and let me partner run it.. 

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.

@Cosmo DePinto, I can provide further insight on behalf of my market.

Hi Kedric, welcome and I'm in the Atlanta Market.

Not familiar with those markets, but here is my experience starting at 22 and what I regret after house hacking twice: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous...

Your realtor will be able to give you a much more detailed market specific answer but with house hacking and a VA loan it should be possible to get 0 out of pocket.

Study the market.

I know a little about the phoenix market and agree it is growing. 

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.
