Owner occupied strategies are going to be the easiest way to get started. My wife and I started with a live-in flip. That or a house hack (buy a single family home and rent out the bedrooms or a small multifamily and rent out the other units) presents the lowest barrier to entry. Owner occupied loans start at 3.5% down as opposed to the standard 20% down for an investment loan. 

It's a long game and slow and steady still wins the race. You'll find plenty of information on the BP podcasts and content for new investors. Feel free to shoot me a message if you think that I can be a resource. We've done live-in flips (on our 3rd right now), short term, mid term, and long term rentals.
