24 y/o homeowner looking for insight on getting other properties

[Devonte Blackmon]

Hows it going BP! i am 24 and recently purchased my first home in April of this year for primary residence. I was wondering how does me buying a home play a factor in securing other loans for investment properties. Is it a plus or negative? Does it play any role at all? Also what are the options to getting loans for investment properties ? Ive read something about hard money loans for beginners flippers but really don't understand. Thanks in advance.
