I know advertising, marketing and communications like the back of my hand and I analyze data for a living.I don't have plans to leave my full-time job anytime soon but I'm branching out into new avenues of "passive" income.

Being that it's a military town, I should be able to get decent tenants if I focus my advertising on the local Airmen.

My problem is I’m going to school full time to get a bachelors degree and only have 1 year left.

A few recommendations:- "E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber (this will have you working on your business instead of in your business)- "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter (this provides a more foundational perspective on money)- "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki (further builds on the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" foundation)- "Set for Life" by Scott Trench- "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene- "The Book on Managing Rental Properties' by Brandon Turner and Heather Turner- "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod-"HOLD" by Gary Keller (geared toward SFR)-"The ABCs of Real Estate Investing" by Ken McElroy (geared toward commercial investing)"Multi-Family Millions" by David Lyndahl (This is on my list of "To-Reads".

Look at the price range for multi families and make sure you have the capital to reach it plus reserves.

I know all I need is to get my first multi-unit and the rest will follow but it is so hard to save cash.

AND THEN anything is left - THAT is your net profit.Analyze a few multi-family or commercial deal and see where the line items fall. 

My concern with multi unit properties is the quality of tenant, that and cash flow on any properties in our area is very hard to come by.

I learned during the last down turn that investing in SFHs was a much higher risk than multi units.
