How do I find out if a properity will have cash flow+appreciate

[Gabriel Spaulding]

Hello BP people, I've been listening to the BP podcast for a decent little bit. I'm currently 19 years old and just started a plumbing apprenticeship. Id like to buy a small apartment or multifamily home. However, I'm a bit confused and scared lol. So here are my questions. 1: how do I figure out if a property will cash flow and appreciate in value. 2: after I find a property that is a good investment, how do I go about buying it? I've listened to a lot of BP podcasts but I have a hard time finding out the "how" to do it. So who do I go to in order to buy the home/apartment? 3: what type of financing should I be getting for it. I'd like to leverage it and not use all money out of pocket.
