It will depend on what your goals are, but if you'd like to scale fast, you could leverage the $100k cash to buy 2 or 3 duplexes in lower priced markets that have higher rent/price ratios.You could use these properties to learn the ins-outs of OOS investing and use these to build your network and confidence in the market.

I'm not self promoting.

Your future self will thank you!

For example:Task             Estimate        % Certainty        Low        HighDemo              $5,000           90%                    $4,500    $5,500Construction   $10,000          80%                    $8,000    $12,000Plumbing         $8,000           75%                    $6,000    $10,000Finish Work    $10,000           90%                    $9,000    $11,000------------------------------------------------------------------------------TOTAL             $33,000                                    $27,500  $38,500So, if the estimate of $33k looks good and the high estimate of $38,500 is still "ok", I feel confident because its unlikely that EVERY item will be that far off.

If you are just starting out and you are local, I would highly suggest self management.

@Caiden Mooney, if you are going to rent the property to third parties you may also be able to use a self-directed IRA to fund.

Find out how much you want to cash flow per door, whether you will self-manage or use a property manager, etc.
