Want to learn guitar

First post on Reddit lol. I’m thirty five and never touched a musical instrument other than the recorder they make you play in school growing up. I’ve been interested in learning guitar since I was a kid but never had the money or the time but now I do. I figure better late than never. I have a couple questions. First, how would you go about learning and what would be the best way if you could do it over again and what would I start on, acoustic or electric ? Also how long have you been playing and how long did it take you to start seeing results?

Thanks you for your time
