Hi! I am newer to this, I am currently in the process of looking for my first rental property.  I think I still have a lot to learn, and my question to you all is, what did you do that you think helped you the most when you were first starting out?  Learning what you need to start your first rental, the applicable laws and regulations in your area (I am in Atlanta, GA), how to learn what market near you you wanted to invest in, etc.  I have read a couple of books which I think really helped me out, and I listen to podcasts, but I am stuck on how to best focus my education efforts and I am just curious if any of you are willing to share what helped you most in the early days!  Thank you!

hi! I just met with my first lender and they said they will not provide loans for duplexes because they are multi family and typically have two titles and they will only offer loans on single units.  I have not encountered that in any of my research.  Does anyone have experience purchasing a duplex with a conventional loan for house hacking and can share their experience?  Or if you know any banks in the Atlanta, GA area that will provide loans for a duplex?  Any insight is appreciated, thank you!

Hi! I am new to this and am meeting with my first lender today to hopefully pursue my first property! I wanted to ask what your recommendations are for favorite or "must ask" questions when meeting with a lender to see if they are the right one to go with - thank you so much in advance!
