I currently own a multi family out in Killeen, so I’ve gotten my feet a bit wet, and I’m working on being more analytical with further purchases.

Just starting to get my feet wet and slightly discouraged as well with the high pricepoint getting into a duplex in those areas. 

@Stephan GunaI would look at doing a house hack for your first deal if you are local to Cleveland or opting for a more turnkey on the first deal to get your feet wet and as you get more comfortable with your team branch out. 

@Jaylen Jones You should get your feet wet. 

House hacking is a great way to get your feet wet in real estate.

Look for the calculation sheet called "wet stone".

Based on your circumstances (though others may disagree), I recommend buying a SFH or small MFH through either a TK company or other network of trusted advisors that will get your feet wet and help you learn.  

It might take time, especially with inventory issues the way you talk about it in your location but you'll get  your own home, get part/ all the monthly payment covered by the tenants, you get your feet wet investing, etc.This is my opinion.

Like previously stated, i’m looking for SFH and possibly multi-family after getting my toes wet.

But I want to start building a buyers list and make a deal or two while I’m here to get my feet wet...
