im just getting into real estate. need advice

[Aaron Phifer]

Hi, I am looking to get into real estate.  I am looking at 2 units and 4 units multifamily.  I am also looking at possibly buying land and doing a new build.  I am wondering what would you recommend in this market during this climate.  To me, it seem like Vegas is already building so many rental units.  Also, the Vegas market seem to be up and down.  What would be your advice?  I currently do not own.  This is my first time buying a property.  I've never been a homeowner before.  lastly, I can house hack.  

Thanks!

A lot of variables to consider, but if you've never owned a home, I'd suggest the house hacking route. Go with a conventional loan, buy a 2-4 unit property, learn the business. You can learn a lot with podcasts and books, but nothing substitutes the real experience of doing it yourself
