Good job Christopher, buying early will definitely help build a portfolio.  I started with a duplex and moved from there.  When i was 18 the last thing on my mine was buying a house.  Better to pay your mortgage instead of someone else's.  If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.

You gotta talk to @Ty Ash

Welcome to BP - think you are definitely starting in the right place - house hack duplex to start the real estate investing journey should be a solid bet - don't need a huge amount of capital either if you buy smart

Christopher,

I would suggest that you start learning as much as you can about real estate investing now. I would find a local real estate investing club in your area and start attending their meetings. Ask a lot of questions of other real estate investors, ensure they actually invest in real estate and are not one of the many people who "plan" on being an investor. I would speak with realtors, and local banks to better understand the business. Ask questions here on BP because there a lot of people on this site that are more than willing to help a new investor without having something they are trying to sell you. Good luck.
