Don Daniels Thank you for your opinion. I am starting more to think that going with the 2 single family houses could be better in the long run

Hey everyone! Im 22 and definitely plan on investing in the next year. Im currently living with the parents saving up as much money as possible. What I need opinions on is what i should start doing. Should I buy a house live in it for a year, save up some more money and buy another house and rent that out. OR should I buy a duplex live on one side and rent the other. To me I feel like buying 2 houses would be better but I feel like buying a duplex would be nice to start with. The only problem is finding a nice duplex in my area. The houses im looking at are 3 bd 2+ baths and 2 car garages.

Hey everyone! Im glad I found this forum. I just joined here to soak up as much information as I can before I set foot in investing. Im 22 and really looking forward to saving for my future and see what my future holds. Ive wanted to start a business and to me I feel like real estate investing can be well fit for me. I would like to meet other investors in my area and attend meetings. Also I will be looking for a mentor to help guide me through my journey
