Hi everyone,

I'm happy to be here. I am a first-time investor and am trying to decide if I should purchase in a single family rental, go for a small multi family or have a small bit of equity in an apartment deal under Realty Mogul. Any suggestions as to the best way to get started? Thanks!

Hey @Amanda Brandenburg welcome to BiggerPockets! You've definitely come to the right place to learn more about investing. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and The BiggerPockets Podcast. They are both great at learning the fundamentals.

@Amanda Brandenburg
All the resources mentioned above are awesome. To answer your question it requires you asking yourself more questions what are your short and long term goals, real estate experience, education, etc? If you don't have any experience I would start by getting educated and researching different areas once you find one you like start there and continue growing from there.
I started investing in 2010 with wholesaling and flipping. Recently my fiancee and I have acquired a couple apartment communities in FL. We still do the flipping but our goals are completely different than 6 years ago. Keep learning and take action things will become clearer. Good luck!
