Biggest advice is to focus on building your income, credit, and cash reserves while learning how to analyze duplexes and small multifamily properties. Don't wait until you're ready to buy to start studying deals. Look at listings every week, learn local rents, and understand what makes a property cash flow. House hacking is one of the best ways to get started because it lets you live in the property while building equity and landlord experience. If you stay consistent, 25 is a very realistic goal, and you'll be far ahead of where most people are at that age.
