Beginner, 23 years old

[Mitchell Tyburczy]

I am looking to buy my first property as a multi family where I can live in and rent out the other space. I am 23 and in the military but plan to be around this area for a while. I have over $40,000 saved to buy, but no experience or real knowledge of purchasing a home or rental property. Where or who should I begin taking too? Are there specific books, types of people, apps, or other little things to gain knowledge from? I hear people say dive in head first which I’m all for, but still cautious. Thank you.
