Replied

@Elijah Velasquez Do some house hacking and BRRRR:

1. Get a duplex.

2. Move in the uglier side and renovate it. Rent the nicer side.

3. Switch and repeat: move in the uglier side and renovate it too. Rent the newly renovated side.

4. Repeat.

This strategy will give you good ROI and cash flow. Plus, you'll hit multiple goals with one stone, be able to take advantage of good financing, while getting income and tax advantages.
