I intend to buy a house and rent it out to myself and 3 other roommates for a year.

Get a trusted friend to be a roommate...special emphasis on "trusted".

I hate roommates, but one of the best financial decisions I've ever made to keep the place.

Hi my name is jeremySo recently ive stumbled across bigger pockets and am trying to learn how to get started in the real estate investing world Its always been a passion and dream to do this even as a kid but i didnt think it was possible without large amounts of capital i see now that there are other ways tho i am not fully aware and understanding themSo let me start with an introduction hi im jeremy, im a plumbers apprentice and actively saving , currently i live at home after moving back when the whole rent and live with roommates thing didnt work and i felt like i was not getting anywhere paying rent vs paying payments on a loan , ive got a few thousand right now and am in a odd spot as i dont know if i should stop putting money away for a loan payment and buy a car ( i lost mine due to black ice and insurance didnt cover) i dont necessarily need it to work but i think it will be needed to look at potential properties when im getting ready to pull that triggerAnyways my plan when i first started my job was to just get fully licensed in plumbing and once i have it i would be knowledgeable enough to do most if not all plumbing repairs in any property thinking it would be saving me thousands of dollars when/if i needed to do any type of repair to the unit or its water/heating systems vs paying for it, granted as i get more and more property ill doubt ill still be interested in doing it but i figured its a good stable job to start with and i could always fall back on if needed.

Can you get a roommate?

I purchased a 2/2 in case someone wanted a roommate hoping to offset the cost.

Is it a roommate situation?   

When I moved out of the dorms and into an apartment my roommate and I had little to no credit but nothing bad on there. 

It all depends on your comfort level having roommates that you will interact with daily.

Perhaps you can get a roommate with some credit or enough steady income to satisfy this problem.
