Rentals or Flips for starting out?

[George Batton]

Also on the subject of being new to real estate, what do you all think is better; buying a single house to flip or buying a house to rent out to a tenant? I still live in an apartment right now and pay 470 per month plus utilities. Granted I have two roommates that pay half of the rent. I'm just wondering which is better to start out with. I want to get out of having to liive in a place where I'm throwing my money away on rent, but I'm thinking that I could also make alot of money with a rental property.
