Different types of Investment options

[Quandra Adams]

I've kind of made my mind up that I would like my first property to be an owner-occupied duplex or triplex  but I figured I need to be a bit more open-minded in case there are other options available. Multi family investments are appealing to me because I like the idea of being able to potentially offset my part of the mortgage. But what other options are there for real estate investing that don't require a large chunk of money?
