Still a Renter, investing in Rentals

[John Krasner]

I am renting. It would seem that Renting is a polarizing issue among Real Estate investors. Being new at this, and working towards selling mobile homes, preferably in a mobile home park, I do plan to move into the park itself in a quality unit of my own. What do you think of renting while building up to your first investment? Do you think your first investment should be a house of your own? Do Flippers rent? I feel as though, given time, seed capital could be raised more quickly for the park if I was to buy a small home of my own for the interim.
