Welcome to the website.
There is a lot of information available to you here.
How much investing in real estate have you done?
I would try to concentrate and learn one type of investing. Then see which one you are more comfortable with.
I definitely recommend reading the Ultimate Beginner's Guide.
It's a good idea to setup your keyword alerts as well. Then when someone writes about what you want to know more about you will get an email.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Life doesn't go as planned.
Maybe your 5 year plan will take 7 years to accomplish.
The thing is, that is okay.
As long as you keep making the right decision for your business.
Sustainability then the growth happens.
Keep to your budgets.
Sometimes you have to let yourself be sidetracked, because life does happen. You have to take care of your family and loved ones when they are in need.
Once you have fulfilled their needs, you get back to work.
Also, the rain has been ridiculous. Welcome to Drip Drop Apartments how can we help you?

I don't know your particular finances.
But going out and finding a great deal, seems to be the popular opinion.

Sounds like you have a great plan.
If you want to read books Brandon Turner has made several post about books he recommends.
Also something else you might want to consider is note investing. Especially if you want to pursue research, drawing, or writing.

I would work on option B.
I would try and find a smoking deal though. Something that you can buy at a discount, maybe put some work into. Then have after the work, the goal for the 2nd property is to have it worth considerably more than you paid for it.
Then things would begin to "balance"
If you consult a CPA buying a 2nd property could help you out on taxes.
If you can't find something though, option A is good too.
