First Home or First Investment Property?!

[Jared Ortega]

Im new to bigger pockets and I am loving what I am seeing and learning so far! I have a question and would love to hear y'all opinion! So I am finally in the position to purchase my first home. I have good credit, making enough at my 9-5 finally saved enough for the down payment etc. My dream is to get started in investing in real estate and being able to leave my Job that i hate. For all y'all investors, agents, homeowners, etc what would your recommendation be, should i purchase my 1st home or should I purchase my first investment property instead. And if the answer/opinion is an investment property should it be a flip or rental?
