Rental property advice

[Mar Tell Dennis]

In the process of closing on my first residental property where tenants are currently living so they will be paying the mortgage. I always wanted to be in real estate. Having a tough time finding my purpose but this is a start. I dont know if i want to fix and flip and use hard money, or just buy rental properties and rent them out. Whats the best way to get my foot in the door? Should i fix and flip and use hardmoney. Any suggestions for new beginners currently in mississippi.
