For the 1-4 unit non commercial properties will appraisers typically use the income approach? 

I want to use it to learn the Real Estate industry in a personal approach.

Always curious about real estate and how other investors approach problems I'm happy to find this community.

Shanaa,How do you compare you confidence and competent level approaching things that is new.That's where you begin once you find the real answer your on your way to mastering your real estate investment goals.No doubt you'll do find!!

Sometimes gotta get the emotion out of it and approach it from a loss cutting position, and you're all absolutely right.

Plus adding that I tend to be a shy person when approaching new people.I joined BiggerPockets because I heard about it at a course about real estate investing.

I like this approach too.

I appreciate your opinion and yes the income approach is extremely important.

Yes it seems the traditional investing approach works best for me, but as I grow I will navigate more comprehensive and creative investing strategies.   

Moral of the story.....be willing to be creative in your approach to deals!
