Do you already have a family or is this just a 5-10 year plan? Lots can happen in the meantime.
What I've done so far (I'm 25) is buy cheap condos and live in one room while renting the rest. I'm on my 2nd one. I think this may be the last condo I buy as an investment and live in, though. I just got a full-time job that's 50 miles roundtrip (not every day) so I'm thinking of moving a bit closer to work once I settle in and make sure I like it. I'd like a house, but eh.. I can wait. So we'll see.
If you were to buy the condo and rent it out later, what would your projected income vs. expenses be? Might want to take a hard look at those before considering. If the #s pan out (look at 1% rule, 50% rule, etc and check out Bigger Pockets) and you eventually WANT to become a landlord (or if the property makes enough that it cash flows after property management which, let's face it, it should either way whether you use a PM or not), then I'd pull the trigger. If the rental #s don't make sense, I'd probably just continue renting and stashing.
