Any advice? 

If you need advice it's great to talk to people who have been successful at it.

Does anyone have any advice on how to find a duplex or a good alternative way of starting to invest?

Can anyone give me advice on how to go about it if it's worth it?

Make sure to get legal advice on what you can and can’t do for bill back and what kind of notice period is required in your state. 

And advice is appreciated.  

Here’s the advice I wish someone had shared with me when I was 19:1.This journey won’t be easy.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Jonathan Blanco, I'm and investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I've been on both sides of this conversation.I would look for a lender that (1) listens to you and understands your strategy and needs (hint: it's not always money), (2) has experience working with clients executing your strategy and brings more to the table than just cash - be it advice, relationships, deal-team partners, etc., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

Multifamily rentals are a great way to achieve financial freedom, and it sounds like you’re on the right path.My advice?
