Talk to a good local lender and ask that question, and go find a great area to buy a duplex in, and enjoy learning how to be a first-time real estate investor using a path many, many first-time investors take.

I'm enjoying it.

I'm currently 27 years old and enjoy long walks on the beach.I also have somewhat of a lame sense of humor :-pIf you look at my profile you'll probably notice that I've been a member for almost a year, so I suppose I'm technically not "new" per se, but I am new to the forums and I'm making an effort to become a more active member.

There is a renter culture due to so many people moving her from somewhere else that its possible to get tenants that enjoy renting rather than renting just because they can't afford to buy.  

Trey, I think that I would enjoy owning and operating rentals at this point, but I haven't completed a deal.I want to learn how to analyze properties and spot deals; I'm in the beginning processes for sure.
