If I was in your situation (single with a decent income) I would look to buy a duplex or triplex and use my first home purchase as an investment opportunity.

I hear ya. My lack of handy man skills does seem a bit daunting.

Or buy a single family set up well for rent paying roommates.

Makes financial sense, not really looking for roommates
Appreciate suggestions though

Obviously no one can predict the future, but I wouldn't be chomping at the bit to buy right now with real estate prices really inflated. I'd wait a bit for supply to catch up to the demand and prices to come back to earth a bit.

That said, you'd need to weigh the prices coming down with the interest rates, which will be rising (though you can always refi down the line).
