Graduated Automotive mechanic meets RE

[Ricardo Solis]

Hello all! I am new here to the BiggerPockets family and wanted to ask for advice, I recently graduated community college as an automotive technician and want to take the right steps to financial freedom, i have no major bills just the basic credit cards and phone bills, still at home with my parents, and close to being 22. I became interested in rental property investments because i have family in texas that do it. My main question is where should i get started? Read a couple books about real estate investing and thought maybe wholesaling, but was more interested in buying a home through an fha loan and renting out the rooms available and after a year rent out my space. It seems like a good idea in my head but want opinions to see if i even have the right idea. Thanks for reading.

Jim, thanks for the reply. definitely going to study up on house hacking a bit more, my main goal is rental property investments. Can't wait to see what I'm capable of.
