need advice on how to get my first deal

Hi everyone this is my first post on bigger pockets and hopefully you guys can give me some great advice. I'm currently 22 years old and don't have a ton of money at the moment, but I need to get rolling in investing within a year. Ideally my first deal would be a flip in the low 100k range. However I don't know what the best way to get started would be, wait until  I have 20 % or buy my first home and only put 3.5% down and flip it while living there. The biggest difference would be time obviously because it will in fact take me a while for a full 20%. If you guys could give me your opinions as well as maybe share where you were financially on your first flip and how you went about your first flip (success stories). Thank you for reading !
