Any information will help

Hello biggerpockets family !!! This my first post on here.  I am a newbie to the real estate world, I am 21 year old and I live in Grand Rapids Mi and I know and believe that real estate will provide freedom for me. I Currently live at my parents house, renting out one room (househacking). I have a full time job, that I have been at for 1 year and a half. I have great credit but not much capital. I have spoke to an agent, lander, the bank and I also have a few handymans in my pocket. 

My goal is to buy my first through a FHA loan on a 3.5% down, I would live in one side and rent the other side out. I have read tons of book, listen to podcast, and attended seminars.

My question is what do you think my next step should be ?

Hi @Yusuf Abdi

I am a local realtor but more importantly an investor in the GR market. I purchased my first property in GR with FHA financing as well and have over 15 units currently. Your first step would be to get pre-approved with a lender to see what you qualify for. Once you know that I can help you find a great property that is either on the market or off market. I have a great home inspector as well. Shoot me a message if you would further help from me.

Thanks!
