Note Investing - Advice and suggestions

Afternoon and thank everyone for taking time to read my post/question.  

To get to the "meat and potatoes", I came across the Note investing topic on BP and it has been an outlet of investing that I am starting to become interested in. I am a first time investor and am currently thinking that I want to diversify my investing strategy. 

Currently I am researching into two-three locations to buy my 1st door for LTR and am still deciding if I want a single family or duplex.  The stack theory by Brandon is really an intriguing and interesting one.  As is obvious, every time I start to read into a forum, watch a podcast or read an article I am learning about another possible source of income to learn about (House Hacking, Motor Homes, Flips, SRT, etc), but the Note topics caught my eye.  


Any feedback positive or negative would be great!

Marc S.

Certainly possible but my advice would be to pick one for a few years and then move on to learn the other. Not saying to learn rentals and then leave rentals behind entirely for notes. But I am saying that I think focus is key. We were focused on SFRs for years and then we pivoted to notes. We are still growing both sides (buy and HOLD) as far as out portfolio goes, but I am 90% focused on notes now. Hopefully this answer wasn't overly confusing either, ha.
