$55,000/yr to invest, what’s the best route?

[Isaiah Cuellar]

I'm 21, and after taxes and all expenses I have $55,000/ year I'm able to invest. I work everyday in different states and am home one week out of every 2 months. My goal now is to get a multifamily property no more than $250,000 and put 20%-30% down, get a property manager, and put an extra $4-$5k per month into the principal to pay off the mortgage in less than 3 years, but I don't know what state to invest in, I know Ohio is being looked at but I wouldn't have to time to see multiple properties in person and I'm not sure how to verify the operating expenses of different properties, required repairs, etc. I live in El Paso, Texas but there's not much potential for my goals here, what should I do? My end goal is to figure what property would get me the best ROI when the property is paid off after 3 years, but with the spreadsheets and calculators I've used I have no clue how to figure this out, and the agents and lenders I've spoken to don't know either.

 I would house hack a 2-4 unit locally. After that you will have more experience to confidently invest in an OOS market like Ohio
