Factors to consider include lower entry costs, opportunities for equity growth through renovations and property appreciation, as well as the ability to recycle capital using the BRRRR strategy.

The bigger issue is you need the ability to manage the entire process.

I'm getting started in the real estate investing world and am almost ready to buy my first rental.I’m debating between two different investment strategies and would love to hear advice from experienced investors here.Would you a) buy a two unit and house hack with 5% down (all cash in around 40k) in an appreciating area with a little bit of cash flow every month or b) start BRRRR strategy right away out-of-state in a C neighborhood.And a third option, if you have the ability to do both concurrently, which one would you start with first?

I would go with a company who has multiple properties under management (ideally over 500 to really get the benefits a scale, think cheaper maintenance visits, experience placing tenants, lots of investor experience, ability to find deals within the brokerage, massive marketing channels for properties, systems in place to handle problems, experience handling a massive amount of problems, discounts for bringing multiple properties to manage).Also, make sure your property manager is motivated, experienced, and growing! 

It's a nice benefit while you live there, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor in what you do next...it can play a part in the discussion, but the much greater benefit is your ability to sell tax free on your personal residence with a 121 exclusion.
