New and looking for some feedback

[Brian Larson]

Hey Everyone!  
Brand new here and to real estate.  I’m 47, recently divorced and sitting on minimal cash.  I gave up equity in the house to make the settlement easier (mistake in hindsight, but live and learn).

I am living in an apartment and was thinking about house hacking a duplex or four plex for my first deal.  

I would have to pay to get out of my current lease which is probably only 2 grand so not a big deal.  

Opinions on this as a way to get myself started? I've been thinking about this for a while and have not done anything because of the cash required for down payment, but I could do FHA and move forward with minimal cash investment.

My other thought was to borrow against my 401k and do a turnkey.

Either way I want to start soon.

Thanks, Brian
