Starting out- Need advice from BP community

[Anthony Pelaez]

Hi Good Day,

My Girlfriend and I are thinking of starting out our RE investing Journey. We are from NJ area and we are looking to move to Raleigh, NC. We are deciding to buy a townhouse with an FHA loan as we are First time Home Buyers. We want to buy a multifamily but we've been looking but had no luck finding one that cashflows. Do you recommend buying a townhouse or a house to start out? Which one would benefit us if we are starting the RE investing journey? or Should we keep looking for a multifamily until we find one that cashflows?
