I’m a newbie interested in small multi family, single family and condos.

I've finally got my desired niche picked as multi-family units and methods I want to use (thanks bigger pockets podcast for all the ideas) and ready to set sail and this real estate adventure. 

I've been considering single family and multi-family (no more than 8 units), and ideally something local to me (central NJ). 

As far as cash flow, the best way to achieve at least 1% is going to be through multi units.Getting your license wasn't a bad idea because it helps you get a feel for running comps and understanding the market better.

I’m thinking BRRRR or House Hacking to begin, or Multi family.

To start off, I was trying to get used to analyzing deals and looking at what brokers send when they have a multi-family building for sale. 

I purchased and re-positioned a small 1990 C+ class apartment community with affordable rents and I have been investing passively in value add affordable mobile home park communities.Of all the market forces discussed on BP, the affordable housing shortage is the one undeniable force and it likely will not be solved in my lifetime.our west coast MHPs  are priced at cap rates like A and B multi and in HIGH demand..  

They offered a Multi-Level Marketing option which they annoyingly over-advertised would pay for the education in no time if I recruited others, but I couldn't shake the fact that if the education was so good then why wouldn't they advertise that with the wealth of knowledge I would be receiving that I could pay for the classes..

We plan on house hacking a multi-unit or large single-family using the VA loan.  

I am currently focusing on fix and flips and 2-4 unit multi unit.
