Go for it and don’t stop. I wish i would have stuck with more real estate instead poring my time into my business. I now have 4 kids and overwork myself. I am trying to buy more cash flowing realest are now to have more time with them and get my life back.
Good luck .

Much appreciated Ryan, and I wish you the best on finding your next duplex.

Hey guys, I am starting to realize that as comfortable as I am financially with renting month-to-month a nice apartmentI truly may be wasting an opportunity to financially growfurther.

With that being said, someone who is of age 22. Would the best way jumping into real-estate onthe side be starting with a duplex? Or a cheaper house. Keep in mind, I will need a place to stay so I technically could get two houses but that just sound so overwhelming at the moment...(even though that basically is what a duplex is..lol) I am based out of Kansas City where I believe there is good room for me to start my journey.

I will take any advice/criticism as I am all new to this and appreciate any responses.
