I am new to real estate investing. I am hoping to purchase a duplex within the next year and make in an owner occupied rental. From there I am interested in investing in more multi family properties, either by refinancing and investing the equity into more properties, or pyramiding by selling and moving up to bigger properties. Any advice or suggestions on these matters would be much appreciated, as I am very green when it comes to real estate investing. Thanks and I look forward to using this site!
