I’m most interested in BRRRR and buy-and-hold rentals, and I keep going back and forth between starting with a small multi-family (duplex/triplex/fourplex) or a single-family rental.Here’s where I’m stuck:SFRs seem easier to manage and may be less intimidating for a first deal, but the cash flow might be tighter.Small multis could bring stronger cash flow and efficiency, but I’ve heard they can be tougher to finance, and vacancies or tenant issues could hit harder if I don’t have a solid team yet.For those of you who’ve been down this road already:Which one did you start with, and why?

Quote from @Marc Rapuano: Hello,I am very much interested in beginning to invest in commercial real estate and I think having a mentor would make my intro go much more smoothly and efficiently.  

@Bryant Brislin your question is intriguing and hope that someone could provide an efficient answer 

Minimum total price for a smaller, yet still “efficient” property would be in the $1,500,000 + range in the less expensive states.

This is just one more suggestion I heard in recent communication.
