Investment Property To Flip/Rent Out for First Home?

[Jasmine Whaley]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum. Was looking for some advice. I'm currently renting an apartment. My lease is up in 5 months. I would prefer to buy a house to live in. Should I look towards an investment property before or after I buy my own house?
