Looking forward to learning, sharing, and connecting with this community!

This approach would allow me to learn with each deal and minimize initial risks.2️⃣ Go Straight to Multifamily: Instead of starting with SFHs, I could spend time learning the multifamily business and go directly for a 20+ unit building, maximizing scalability from the start.I have no experience with either strategy.If you were in my position, which strategy would you choose and why?

I have arranged for Servpro to take a look at the property in person to give me a quote for this job.

I am the only person that will be able to update you in this matter.

What is a goal you have as you start learning about RE investing?

I think you need to find a good local agent, network with investors(local meet ups, FB groups, etc) and learn more to dial in the gameplan. 

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

My advice, find someone who really knows their stuff to partner with until you've figured it out...and then understand that you'll never stop learning.

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

Finally got done building personal credit enough to seek pre-approval (as I have only just turned 21 years old).
