We are probably going to stay in an apartment, but we would much prefer to rent from a home.

If there is one would which would you prefer and why?

If you can, walk the property with a GC, the bigger pockets book on flipping writes of a 100 house rule, meaning walk 100 properties, preferably with a GC if you're new.Wholesaling is marketed as a get rich quick, but in reality, it's not at all.

@Corbin Jones I prefer to monitor it myself. 

The other side of the duplex is a smoker and if someone were to go, I'd prefer it be them.

@Zach Finney The plan as it is currently constructed is to do a house hack in Grand Forks, preferably multi family for that deal 3-4 units.

As far as a next purchase or a savings, I personally prefer having a certain amount of liquid assets to feel comfortable, but also think that aggressive investing is what gets people ahead fast.

I'm sure I'm going to get push back eventually on the aggressive breed and 50lb restriction being discrimination, but luckily our area is much slower to catch up to these ridiculous trends.I obviously prefer tenants without animals, but it's to the point where everyone has something, so now we just turn it into a revenue source$25/month per pet + $200-$300 non refundable fee.We enforce quiet enjoyment pretty aggressively. 

I also agree with your point regarding roommates, I personally prefer it at this age (under 30) and I have one committed at immediate move in, other mid year 2020.

But, we still prefer to do it the way we have listed.
