New investor looking to make start investing in 3 months

[Aaron Pope]

My name is Aaron Pope. I'm in Indianapolis, IN and I'm just now starting the learning phase of real estate investing. I'm looking to build cash flow through rental properties for now. I'll look to expand in the future but currently looking to buy and rent out half a duplex while living in the second half and having the rent pay for my mortgage. I don't have any money in savings nor is my credit very good at the moment but I believe there are ways around these challenges any help from someone with more experience would be very appreciated!

I just started reading through the forum here and one theme I see already is that i need a team! I've looked for meetups but also want to see if there's anyone on here that I could pick their brain if possible. Thank you for taking your time this! Hope to hear from you soon!
