I would to know which one of these investment strategies has the best ROI and is this the best way to get started for someone new to REI? I don't really want to start with wholesaling or micro flipping.

@Alethia Hines

Its easy to arbitrage/manage for others but the real goal should be to OWN real estate so you can reap the rewards it has to offer such as debt pay down, appreciation, tax benefits, etc
