Buying first home in my life!

[Mike Bereck]

I am thinking when I buy my first house, I will buy at least a duplex but maybe bigger then that?  Would you do the same if you had no actual real estate experience and you just had knowledge?  Or would you recommend buying a home for my self like a single family home and then a couple or few months down the road, buying at least a duplex or bigger?  I am going towards the first option I mentioned but wanted to get others opinions as well. 

If you say go with the first option, what would you recommend as far as financing the deal?  Get a partner, an investor, or go to bank?

Thanks.

@Mike Bereck Here's a link to HUD approved lenders (mortgage companies, banks, credit unions) You can use the search criteria to pull up which banks have been qualified to offer FHA loans in your area. Most banks and lenders will be happy to speak with you. https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/sfh/le...
