Should I buy my own place first?

[Apriana P.]

I’m moving to Atlanta from Los Angeles and can afford to buy immediately. At the same time, I am looking to invest in real estate (immediately). Is it wise for me to buy my own place first, then buy investment property(flip or wholesale)? Or rent first, and while I’m working on my first investment?

@Apriana P. The best of both worlds, house hack. Buy a small multi 2-4 units with minimal down(owner occupied). After 1 year move and do it again. In 10 years you will have 20-40 cash flowing units.
