Pieced togather what I could to get started, but now wondering whether to go for S9 or L3.

I have been doing what research I could but I am very nervous since its a big initial investment for me. If I understand correctly, I can buy an S9 used for 3k or more, a 1600 power supply and run an ethernet cord to it say from a router in my room to my basement. Then I'll need an ipreader and to set up myself with a mining pool, give it a wallet to deposit into and I am good to go?

I read that it may need a 220v outlet but I think I only have 110 available. I saw a thread where someone was having an issue running two of them possibly due to that. Reading some of the threads it seems people are more interested in the l3's. That is making me wonder whether to just go for that instead of 2 s9's after I got one working. Is it the same setup though or do I need a 220v outlet and I guess a better power supply? Just want to really double check things before I am ready to take the plunge. I have never mined before, only invested into crypto currency a few months back. I know there is no telling when it will get more difficult so I am excited, anxious, and a little nervous while cautious to take the plunge!

Edit: Also I had noticed there are a lot of L3's available on amazon from bitmain going for around 5k. I assumed they are available right now or is there a long wait period for the S9's and L3's even on amazon?
