Hello @Connor Long - Were I 20 and interested in real estate at that young age (envious), I'd be looking to house-hack a duplex, triplex or quad. I'd find a distressed property somewhere I'd be reasonably OK living for the next year, that has at least 1 livable unit. I'd buy it, improve it, and a year later I'd refinance to get the money to buy the next one - and I'd repeat that ever year for the next 10 years. Then as a 30 year old multi-million, I'd find a hot 22 year old, get married (prenup) and start a family :)
