New to group with questions.

[Chris Walters]

Hey guys new to being a member to the group. Have followed and read alot on here but never activated an account.  So I have a question to see what people think.  I have been bidding on auction houses, but not trying to spend alot. Reason being. Planning on buying another house around this December /January ish of 2020. I will be renting out my current home I live in.  I want to buy an investment property in the mean time. But don't want to take a credit hit. Or even worse, not get approved for my next home after doing that. Wanted to do a duplex. But can't with living situation.  Wife. Kids. Animals.  So that's completely out to live in and rent out.  Any suggestions? Do I have to wait til I buy my next home and go from there then?
