Quote from @Raif Jochim: Bigger Pockets Community -I'm trying to plan for the future and have a question I'd like your thoughts on.  

I personally don't have the bandwidth for them and don't need them. 

It’s the "bigger bird, smaller stone" approach: multifamily offers more immediate cash flow and flexibility when you're getting started, while single-family homes can provide more simplicity and scalability once you've built up some capital. 

You need to polish your skills, bigger pockets is a great place to start... find a local wholesaler you can work for/with and he will guide you. 

I want to eventually find my forever home and create a bigger real estate profile.

As you gain experience and tackle even bigger projects, you'll realize that what once seemed like a mammoth deal becomes totally doable.When it's crunch time, there is no room for improvisation.

You can see how a lot of people in this area started small and are going bigger.

We were thinking about this now because it's hard to find good deals in our price range, so thought it might be easier to put it into a bigger deal but sounds like that's not such an option. 

Houses have gotten bigger. 2.   

If you come across a better opportunity here in AZ where if you can take your 1M and turn it in to 1.2-1.3M ( maybe a value add deal) sell the house, take the equity and use it to get a bigger return.
