Which direction should I go

[Xavier Green]

Hello community I'm currently doing my research as a newbie to the industry and was wondering if I should buy a house, live in the house and rehab to flip it or buy one to rehab so that I could rent it out? I've listened to podcast and they are very helpful. I'm currently in Jackson, Ms and would like to test the waters. Which is the better thing to do first? What should be my max price when looking at my first house?
