Advice on first property

[Derek Massad]

Hey everyone! Im 22 and definitely plan on investing in the next year. Im currently living with the parents saving up as much money as possible. What I need opinions on is what i should start doing. Should I buy a house live in it for a year, save up some more money and buy another house and rent that out. OR should I buy a duplex live on one side and rent the other. To me I feel like buying 2 houses would be better but I feel like buying a duplex would be nice to start with. The only problem is finding a nice duplex in my area. The houses im looking at are 3 bd 2+ baths and 2 car garages.
