Would a duplex be a good first investment?

Brian Castle
Posted

Hi, my name is Brian Castle. I’m 21 years old and I want to get into real estate to create financial freedom for myself. The goal is to eventually get into owner financing, but I wanted to get some experience first. My question is: would it be a good idea to buy a duplex, live in one side, and rent out the other? I would probably get a property manager, as well as, a PO Box for them to send the rent to. I’m all ears to any tips or advice anyone might have. Thank you in advance to anyone who took the time to read this!
