New Indianapolis Investor

Hey everyone!

I'm really loving being a part of this community and thank you in advance for your perspective.

I have made some good Excel sheets for finding deals that will work, and have a good idea of what I can do on the lending side, so now I'm looking into next steps.

I feel I need to narrow my net before talking to a realtor, so how would you suggest I decide between multi and single family? Looking to be financially independent within 10 years, so should I be prioritizing appreciation or cash flow this early in the game?

Thank you!
