Posted

I’m new to investing and just trying to gets some guidance . I got a 670 credit score and about 20k saved up . My idea is to get a fha loan on a duplex or triplex and live in it for about year or two. Now that I have my money saved up , i don’t know what to do from here . Should I go to a loan officer and get to know what I’m approved for before I start looking at properties or should I go to realtor first and find a property . Any help would be great thanks .

 Talk to a loan officer first. See how much your approved for then start looking for houses.  Hope this helps.
