Pros & Cons to My first property being Personal vs Commercial
Hello! I have a question that may be a little out there for someone just starting out but nevertheless I am trying to compile information and opinions on.
I do not own property...yet. I am in discussions with other like minded individuals about starting in real estate investing. While on the other end I am still looking for a personal place of residences that i can ultimately house hack, live in and charge rent to other tenants in separate units.
My question is, if I purchase a investment home with other investors, does this ruin any potential first time home buyers perks and anything down the line I would be stripped off because of buying this investment home first before purchasing my personal residence?
any clarification please don't hesitate to comment and ask I am very curious to hear what the community says, thank you!
