Thanks. I'm pretty set on a duplex or four-plex but I just wanted some other input but most of what I've been hearing is condos are a bad go. And the cash flow from duplex's can come a lot quicker.

I am very interested in investing in real estate, but I'm not quit sure what to start investing in. I'm very interested in buying a duplex and living in one space and renting out the other. But a conversation with one of my friends also had me interested in buying a condo. But I've read a lot of negative things about condos and I'm not quit sure I like the idea of not being fully in charge of the property. I know it all comes down to if the numbers add up but I'm just looking for some different opinions and input from some pros with experience from both.

@Adrian chu most around this area are in the mid 100,000 range.

Thank you for the advise. I have been thinking of starting out with a duplex. Many people are telling me that's the smartest way to go. There is so many different ways to get started its just overwhelming sometimes.

My name is joey and I jus turned 21. Im six months into a new job and im making good money. My college debt is almost paid and I've been doing a lot of looking into investments and so far real estate has really caught my attention. But I really don't know much about the subject and I'm looking for advice.
