Which REI is right for me?

Hello BiggerPockets community!

So far this site has been very helpful and is packed full of useful information and insight from its members. My question is which type of rei is right for me?

About myself:

-22 years old

-Graduate this May from NCSU with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Entrepreneurial Studies

-I have started up and ran my own landscaping company (Divine Landscaping) in NJ in 2006 till 2012 and recently a video production company (Non Stop Productions). I love to work hard and make money.

I have no real estate background. However, I have minor construction experience via diy projects my family would do around the house (finished the basement, backyard patio and fireplace, bball court, stone walls etc.). I also took a financial accounting class last semester which led me learn more about different types of investing (stock market, mutual funds).

The future:

I would love to purchase a duplex, fix up the other side and rent it out. However, I will have no idea where I will be working once I graduate this May. Another major consideration is that I am in a relationship that will govern where I will be living in 2020 (since she will be bringing in the dough as a physicians assistant and starts her 3 year med school in 2017).

Money!

I can comfortably invest a max of $30k by depleting my mutual funds (which earn ~6.5% a year) and possibly more if my parents want to get in on this.

Thank you!

Nick
