Time to get the ball rolling

[Christopher Montgomery]

next year I plan to have between 10 to 15k to invest in realestate. As a newbie how do I best maximize this to creat passive income. My plan is to acquire 5 rentals in the next 18 months. Is this at all possible. Any all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas to everyone

Sure, why not? I don't know if there is any limit to personal drive and ambition. 

15k is a decent amount to get an owner occupied 3 family building. FHA will do 3% down and its a good start if you can take the hit and live in a multi. Thats how I got started and now my wife and I do nothing but investing.
