No Money Down for First Investment: Good or Bad?

[Robert Khederian]

Hi! 

I am researching for my first investment, and I am getting lured by the idea of no money down deals. However, is it better for me to get my feet wet in the industry with a conventional loan? I could provide the down payment for a property in my price range, but I don't know if that money is better spent elsewhere? Or are my eyes bigger than my stomach? 

Thanks!
Robert
