Single family, multi-family?

I could see L.A live restaurants/bars maybe doing better and probably good for AEG...owner of staples center/L.A live..

Also, what would be a good amount to have in reserve for a 3 bed/2 bath single family home?  

2 - Could I build two duplexes and some sort of connecting structure like a single entryway and finance it as a 4plex?

While residential sales was a great experience I am interested in pivoting to investing (single family or small multi-family properties).

Does anyone have suggestions on a company that can demo and install a 16x20 single garage (detached).

My goals consist of starting out with Single family (already have my first deal picked out, and in negotiations) then quickly moving into Multifamily and then growing it from there.I do my research and I'm always expanding my knowledge, I don't do anything with out full commitment and I'm looking for the same from a partner.I've always had a way of finding deals in my life (eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Craigslist, etc. ) and I'm more motivated than ever to find them since being introduced to real estate investing. 

I’m just looking for a self-directed Ira that is cost effective for a single transaction. 

Then go buy one like SFH Single Family home 1,2 and duplex were all purchased within the last year.

Also a heads up to everyone, we have a 12 unit and 4 single family homes (side by side) as a contract to assign.
