I am relatively new to investing with one year under my belt and 2 units in my portfolio.

Cool that you already have a couple of properties under your belt!

yes jack, I'm currently 18.(19 on the 30th) I do have two single family homes under my belt and currently have both of the still.

I want to grow my portfolio by investing in additional SFH's over the coming years (for example, purchase a ~100k home every year or two until I have 4-5 home under my belt, then sell them and purchase a complex of some sort to make it easy to manage and cheaper to maintain.)From what it looks like, I am comfortable purchasing a home worth up to 100k (looking to put 20% down + cover closing costs, fess, etc.)Unfortunately I live in the Bay Area, so I am forced to look in cities that I cannot personally maintain/manage.

But I had about 20 residential deals under my belt before I had the confidence and ability to do my first commercial deal.We can offer more feedback if you share information about your other work experience, your financial situation, your goals, and which niche you're looking at (multifamily, office, medical, retail, industrial, storage, etc)

I want to get my first property under my belt within the first 6 months of this year and create a positive cash flow to re invest my money.

I would try that, but with such a good deal, I would not negotiate for too long and go ahead and get that property under my belt. 

A good tool to add to your tool belt in this market is to learn more about creative finance.

Dunkin can do well more in cold belt states.
