I’ve been doing a lot of research and something I keep hearing is that getting into real estate is a very tough thing to do at a young age, due to the obvious lack of experience.

I mean incompetent, didn't check ages of utilities, didn't go in attics, crawl spaces, test any electrical/plumbing, didn't go on or look at roof...

Depending on the number of vehicles, age of drivers, number of properties owned, the rates can be very affordable. 

I got 5.5% on our 20-unit MF purchase, 20-year amortization (normally 25% but because of the property age they wanted to go with a 20-yr), 80% LTV, 5-year fixed, 12-month interest only. 

Wife and I work full time (mostly from home) and the kids are toddler age.

Most people with school aged children put house hunting on the back burner during these months.

Since there is no debt there is significant cash flow that I need to maintain for the health and well being of an aging parent, so I will be trying to keep the payment within a range of 6-6500 a month.

Ive noticed that investing is gaining popularity for people my age, but most steer towards stocks/bonds.

My wife and I currently live in Denver but my parents are aging and we will soon move back to my home town just outside of the city.
