First time investor, rental property or my own personal property

[Javier Blanco]

Hello! I am looking into buying my first rental property. One of the many questions I have is if it better to buy a rental property first than buying your primary residence or would it be better to get your own place first and then start investing? I know I could buy duplex or townhouse (owner occupied) reside in there for a year, and then move out. Probably continue living in rental properties for a while and finally getting my own place, but not sure if somethinf like that its a good strategy Thank you!
