If things are tight or you don't have expendable income to invest I would go turn key. 2-4 unit properties would be great, the goal is to minimize your monthly housing expenses to save so if you are occupying a unit you will probably not cashflow

tend to believe everyone is motivated by money; people who are lifestyle motivated think everyone is motivated by the least amount of time expended; people who are risk adverse can’t believe other people are willing to “bet” on outcomes even when the odds are clearly in their favor. 80% of the time (IMO) people who make decisions we disagree with are not making stupid, ill informed decisions or being “tricked”; they just have motivation, needs and desires different that our own.
