What's better? Buying a single family home first or buying a duplex? Can't decide which way to go. Either one would be our primary residence, so down payment and closing costs are fairly the same. We have found homes that have basements converted into apartments, which we could rent out for income and have also found duplexes with one unit occupied. We want to buy our primary residence and quickly after buy an investment property, which I know would be 20% down. I guess I'm asking does it really matter which one we start out with first or am I overthinking this process after intaking vast amounts of information. Any suggestions are appreciated. (FYI, looking in SC and OH, open to other places as well.)

Hi @Nate Slappey III!

We are trying to pin point an area outside of Atlanta, any recommendations on up and coming areas for homes to flip?

Hi BP!

My name is Dajana, currently living in Florida with my husband Ryan. We are brand new to real estate investing and would love to connect with people in Florida, Georgia and South/North Carolina. Our current situation is very flexible right now in terms of where we can start our first flip or rental, we are eager to get started! Any guidance/tips would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks Everyone!
