@Kareem Hammad With that amount of a down payment, I'd concur with @Julia Lyrberg suggestion about house hacking and expand from there. 

Current Tenants- would some want to expand into units next to them, knocking down wall, etc.7. 

I generally recommend if you're not going to buy a property in the city/market where you currently live, the next best place to look is where you have family (and presumably a place that you'll visit relatively often and easily).What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper", assuming you buy in Peoria or a similar priced Midwest market?

Expanding your portfolio, streamlining tenant management, diversifying income streams, building a network, and planning for growth are also recommended.

You can pretty easily find a duplex to house hack in a good neighborhood in the $300,000-$400,000 range.

Using equity can be a smart way to expand your portfolio, but it doesn't have to mean over-leveraging or creating unnecessary risk.
