I was curious if anyone has any recommendations as to what I can do to prepare for the start of my real estate investing career.

To earn that hands-on learning offer to do some of the work that would be more tedious to that investor but can also help you learn in the process, such as drafting an offer letter, initial cleaning of the property, etc.When it comes time that you'll have the cash and debt (and credit rating) position for your own first investment, you'll also have a solid foundation of learning. 

Triplexes are going to be harder to find but I’m of the mind that you should go as big and expensive as possible since debt is cheap and you are (assuming) a dual income high earning household. 

It can also be instructive to look at per door prices to give you an idea of where you fall in the market, but the actual value is based on earnings.

The loan was fully assumable when I was ready to sell and I held an owner financed 2nd for part of my equity so I earned interest on it too. 

Having that kind of money is crucial and the decision I make is going to be very important to further my career as a real estate investor.

I never owned any real estate and have been renting a high rise one bedroom for $1,800 in River North with my girlfriend for the past couple years, and we love it here.I have done well in my career and am currently sitting on a mid 7 figure liquid portfolio all invested in equity index funds, and I think diversifying a bit in real estate might be a good strategy.

You should be consuming podcasts and books-Maybe look into a career that is centered around real estate to get some experience that way.
