Buying my first property

[Dewey Lybecker]

So my wife and I are as green as it gets when it comes to real estate investing. We're ready to jump in with both feet and are trying to be as wise as we can in the process. I've been spending hours on this website every day and have been reading a bunch of books. We really want to purchase a multifamily home in Tacoma, Wa and live in one of the units. I've been reading about 203(k)loans and am not afraid of a fixer upper. Is there a better way or better loan I should be thinking about? Would you, or would you not recommend a multifamily as a first endeavor? Thanks for all your help in advance!
