Newbie eager to learn...any help is appreciated

[Brandon James]

Hi I've been actively saving and I should have about 100k to invest in real estate in a year. I was thinking about owning some multi family rentals because they have some fairly cheap around here. I was trying to get any advice possible on what is the best way to go with this. Should I buy 2 properties out right with cash or should I pay 20% down on 5 properties and finance the rest? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Please and thank you :)
