5 unit multi family housing

[Dustin Hasan]

I am currently 21 years old and have interested in investing in particular real estate. I want to own a 5 unit multi family house in approximately a year from now or when I graduate college so I can live in one of the units and rent out the rest to tenants. I am looking to save approximately 20,000 for a down payment and absorb as much information as possible in a year so when I have enough for the down payment of a typical 5 unit multi family house I can just buy the property as smoothly as possible. Can someone provide me a roadmap or give me some advice from now till a year to get on the right track.
