@Ivan Esparza

Welcome to BP! Congrats on your decision to start investing so early in life! 

1) read as much as possible. books by David Lindahl, Steve Berges, Gallinelli are all great. They cover multifamily investing for the most part. As far as SFH vs MFH - it varies from one investor to another but in general, if you want to scale faster then MFH investing is your answer.

2) continue saving funds while educating yourself.

3) start going to local REI events found here via BP/Network/Events and Meetup

4) read some books on personal development to help build up the right mindset. F.e., grab some books by Tony Robbins

5) Best of luck! You're doing great by starting out so young!
