education and networking are the best place to start. and why you are doing that, get your financial house in order, clearing out as much bad debt you have as you can. good luck and welcome

welcome, im not too seasoned but I would probably go w/ the small multi to get the hang of things (putting systems in place) before jumping to a full apartment complex. however, if the deal makes sense, then go for it. good luck

Thank you everyone. i think a few are getting the wrong idea. we arent finding any "forever" homes. with that said, the plan was to find what made the most sense on paper and then on the next go around try to prepare for when  a "forever" home comes up. regardless, i think everyone is getting at the same point. make her happy. buy what she wants, then ill have somewhat of a "credit" for next time. thanks guys
