$20k to invest, want to buy multi... suggestions on best options for real estate

[Carla Moore]

Hello, I am a little frustrated..... I want to get into real estate, I own free in the clear a home.... I would like to buy a multi.... I have $20k to invest and that doesn't seem enough in my market. I've talked to quite a few lenders and the option for FHA 3.5% is not an option because I own a home? I thought $20k was a good amount to start.... should I fix & flip?, BRRR, go to the casino?

what suggestions do you have out there?
