First time investor seeking advice

Layton Downs
Posted

Hey all,

My name is Layton, I'm 25 and located in Western PA. I've been following BiggerPockets for a while now on YouTube and decided it was time to join the online forums. 

I have a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate. After graduation college I set a goal for myself to get into real estate preferably by acquiring a multi-family unit or single family with the intent to turn it into a rental. After almost two years of living frugal I am financially in a place to acquire my first property. I will be using an FHA loan to purchase the property and House Hack.

This week I will be walking through a duplex I am interested in. I am seeking advice on what I should look out for and what kind of questions I should be asking. With this being not only my first property tour but my first time buying I'd love some advice.

Thanks in advance!
