Sounds more like trying to win a popularity contest, aiming to gain votes and likes from people here that also have something against wholesaling.But OK let me play along.Let's fact-check this:OP: "It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it."

Networking plays a crucial role in this industry and remember to keep learning continuously.

🙌 I’ve definitely seen the pros and cons play out in both single-family and multifamily properties in my own journey.

And I also think that the inventory in your market plays a large role in deciding what property type makes the most sense.In my market, there is a large abundance of the small multi-family properties, especially the 2-4 unit properties.

This will be a 10 year play.  

in the desert units are often on the roofs.. you can only hope the criminal stumbles and falls off the roof and breaks their butt and decides thats not a good play for them..

You also don't need to do a traditional long term strategy, is there a draw the  area that playing host to a traveling nurse or other professional/student would be interested? 

Plus, having a fully paid-off property could be a nice safety net if the STR market takes a hit or occupancy slows down.On the flip side, if you’re eager to grow, saving for another property could be the better play.

Then, once you incorporate an entity structure, that will play a part as well.Hope that helps!
