Did you own a primary residence before REI

[Terry Cu]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering how many of you guys owned a primary residence prior to flipping/rental properties and etc? For those who did not own a primary residences prior to REI, what was your experience. Thach Nguyen, a big real estate guru, said he lived with his parents first and invested in rental properties/house flipping. Has anyone lived in an apartment and did real estate investment or would that just be wasting money? Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts.
