I am planning to save more than 20% of my income and hoping to start investing in real estate a lot sooner than several years after graduation.

We could use that money to make extra payments on our primary residence to pay it off way sooner. 

I am trying to see if it makes more sense to put down more so I am not as leveraged especially with the larger monthly payments and can cash flow sooner with larger DP.Appreciate your thoughts/advice!

You'll need a good CPA anyway for your real estate investing so find one sooner rather than later.Sandra

@Rachelle Rasich I would definitely have a conversation with an architect sooner rather than later.

The sooner you accept that the less frustrated you will be as a landlord.

Don't wait forever, there is never a perfect time, and the sooner you start, the sooner you come closer to reaching your financial goals. 

But, due to huge backlogs and moratorium delays for non-payment hearings, there is a chance I might land a holdover hearing way sooner (even if filed after 2 months).

Hi Veronika,Apologies for not replying sooner as I just saw your post.
