Currently looking for First Deal..

[Jeffrey Townsend]

Bigger Pockets Family! I'm currently looking for my first investment in real estate around the Kalamazoo, Michigan market. Kinda in a dilemma, I keep Changing my plans. I want my first investment to be a home I could purchase/ move in, and put sweat equity in it within 2 years so I can sell for a profit, not looking for a dump, but also nothing that fully updated. (Me being picky smh.) With me being owner occupied for the 2 years and selling I can take the profit and then use for buy and hold investments. Basically me having some cash on deck to get deals done.. Or should my first property be a buy and hold? And the next be the 2 year plan? I feel myself getting inpatient at times with not being able to find what I want. Am I being too picky? I've submitted a offer few weeks back on a HUD but that process can't be frustrating and I didn't get the deal. Looking for helpful hints, direction, words of encouragement from the BP family .. Thank you all
