My goal is to have 500 cash flowing units by age 35 and i'm currently 19 years old. ( I will be uploading picture soon) Thinking in reverse I plan to do this buying my first property while in college whether that be single family or a duplex, as my months of research have deemed that this area isn't as strong as others when it comes to 2-4 units.

Would this be the best route to begin investing, are there any other recommended ways to get started and accomplish our goal?

Our end goal is to build out a portfolio of properties.

Our goal is to build enough wealth over time through multi-family RE investing to achieve true financial freedom and in doing so, transition to RE Investing full-time.

Its really cool to set goals, and see them transform.

Every deal has a price that you will pay that take into account your desired goals and returns!

He could attempt to do a loan modification (loan mod) with the lender, though this would cut you out but would be great for him if his goal is to stay in the house. 

I have a goal to get a multi family / duplex to live in now and also get rent from another party.

My goal is to completely offset my projected income by 2024 so that I will have the option to walk away if I should decide that I want to (likely will not but having options is what I want most).
