For starters, I recommend to begin with a single family home or if you are looking to start locally, do house hacking. 

If you house hack a single family residence by renting out  a room or two then you would have no property tax but if you buy a duplex you might have to pro-rate the property tax.  

Even if you do find such a deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and a cash-out refinance is extremely difficult, especially for single-family homes.
