College student planning to invest in real estate

[Landen Coyle]

I’ve been looking into investing in rental properties recently and was wondering how i should go about this as a fresh college graduate. My plan at the moment is to save 20% of my monthly after tax income while building up my credit score. At first I was thinking about investing in townhomes, but I was wondering if I should buy something cheaper to start out? I'd be willing to even buy out of state and hire a property manager seeing as I don't have a lot of experience doing maintenance. Any advice on the best way to start out would be appreciated. Also, i'd like some guidance on what I should be researching because there is a lot of information out there. My goal is to have 2 rental properties by the time i'm 30.
