With 34 years of real estate investing experience, I’ve been involved in everything from owning rental properties to flipping.

From my experience working with over 400 investors, I’d recommend starting with house hacking—ideally a fourplex if you find a good deal, but a duplex works too.

Any advice or experiences with this would be greatly appreciated!

So overall experience of your QI to work in a number of markets and locations is really the key. 

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

Many people have had a great experience with home warranties, myself included.

I don't want to get into too many details yet, but to sum up my experience so far. . . 

Sure, because when you take rent payments out of the equation you can focus on the tenant landlord relationship and providing the best experience for the tenant.All the best!

Do you know what you are doing based on actual practical hands on experience?

I want to learn and get as much experience as I can.
