What Would You Do? 20 Year Old In Need of Some Advice

Hello, my name is Richard. I'm 20 years old and am in need of some advice.

I have graduated from college this year and have been studying real estate investing for a while now and feel like I should jump into it. I am blessed to have 40k dollars in my savings and my dad is going to pass down one of his real estate properties to me. His property is a multifamily worth around 600k (completely paid off), consists of 4 houses, and is being rented out for 1,000 dollars each. I am currently looking into the Phoenix area and want to invest in some more multifamily properties.

As of right now, I have three ideas on what I could do:

Idea #1- Refinance my dad's property and buy an apartment complex altogether. Saving my 40k dollars in my savings.

Idea #2- Buy a multifamily property using the BRRRR strategy. Spend most of my savings as a down payment. Not refinancing my dad's property and collecting the 4k cashflow per month (covering any expenses and repairs for the BRRRR).

or

Idea #3- Use the 40k from savings as a down payment. Do the BRRRR strategy on a multifamily. Refinance my dad's property at a minimum (enough to cover expenses and repairs). (Or vice versa. use my savings to cover repairs while I use the refi for the down payment).

Please let me know what you think. I am open to any thoughts and ideas. God bless!

    ...or 4, which would probably make your Father mad, and he'd probably kill you as a result.

    Idea #4:  Sell the multi worth 600k with all equity and use the funds as DP's on 5 properties worth 600k each.  Your CF would be less on each (due to the loans), but the total CR would be much more...and, you would have property values of 3M instead of just 600k.  This means that if you let your tenants buy these properties for you, in 30 years you'll have 3M in paid off properties (instead of the 600k you would have now),...but that's just me.
