I would eventually like to get into fix and flips as I am very handy and love projects.

Really, I don't think there is much room for ANOTHER Daisy in the Daisy-Chain that already comprises your Wholesaler and an eventual Rehabber/Flipper.

At the end of the day it's a numbers game, get thru 100 of the BS'ers and you'll eventually get a deal.

Looking to start with a 2, 3 or 4 plex, eventually leading up to apartment buildings.Erik

I have to move in two years so my current house I will eventually rent and that will be a third rental property, I estimate that I will get 200 dollars a month on this home also.I have 40k to invest as of next month, and by June I can save approximately 2k a month.

I am not in the position yet, but I can get there eventually.

I am currently looking to purchase my first home to house-hack with the eventual plan to move out and have it be a SFR. 

You would have a better idea of that depending on how new the home is but eventually you will have a major repair due to aging or a tenant destroying your floors.Assuming about 10% between maintenance and CAPEX, 8% for vacancies, and adding the 10K for renovations and closing costs you would come in at a 4.7% CoC return.

You can absolutely invest in real estate...eventually.

Yes, he/she will leave eventually but the longer they stay (while having a fair market rent amount) the better for me.
