why not buy a duplex/triplex, or quad?Isn't that a good investment for someone who is starting out? What do mean by "spend some more time deciding on a very specific investment goal"? Okay....so I want to invest in a duplex somewhere near the Denver area? I plan to live in property and manage it myself. Why is it problematic? Because I will pay a premium over SFR and I will not achieve economies of scale?

Well the main reason why I want a place in Denver is me wanting to get a job down in Denver, so I don't have to commute for an hour, however something even potentially close to Denver such as: Longmont, Fort Lupton, Thornton, Arvada, and Aurora. I guess really not Denver, but places closer to Denver. Any ideas...if any of those are a good place to buy? 

I want to buy my very first property, which would be duplex/triplex/quads, however I live in Colorado, which makes it really hard to buy anything these days. If so, what would be a good price to buy Duplex/Triplex/Quads, since everything is so high. I want to buy something either in the Denver area or something at least 1 hour away, but a range between that would be great. I will be using a FHA load to get started, and I think investing in a duplex/triplex/quads would be awesome to kick-start my real estate career.
