My husband and I are planning to do some real estate investment in a year or 
two.  We realize the basic risk and work involve in such an investment and 
would like minimize the risk by avoiding common mistakes.  Here is our 
situation, my husband is in his late 20s and I am in my early 20s.  We just 
bought a house this year (~40k equity now) and should have about 50k in cash 
flow in a year or two.  We would like to have a handful of properties in 10 
years.  Is that realitic?  Where should we start?  What is the best way of 
avoiding expensive mistakes other than learning from your own mistakes?

TIA,
NC
