First time investment strategy advice

Hello Bigger Pockets Fam!

Glad to join this awesome group. I am a newbie when it comes to real estate. I currently work as a dental hygienist full time and am looking to expand into the world of real estate investing. I currently live in Albuquerque, NM and my partner and I are looking to buy our first property hopefully by the end of this year. I look forward to making awesome connections with people. (:

If you had to start over with $0 and all of the knowledge you have now, which direction would you take first?

Instead of buying houses to live in when I was younger I would have started with a 2-4 unit property and lived in it.  I bought my first house when I was in my mid 20s and because of it did not buy my first multifamily property until I was in my early 30s. I also would have invested the time into learning how to buy and purchase properties off market much sooner as that is where you will find deeply discounted deals.
