New to Real estate investing
Hi,
Ratool here! I am interested in real estate investing. I have just started the education in this field and I am open to opportunities in and around Raleigh, NC area.
I have bought a primary residence a couple of years ago. But I want to expand my portfolio and get a steady monthly cash flow. What is the best way to start? Which property types to look for?
Regards,
Ratool Karmaker

Congrats on wanting to get started! The first thing I would do is see what your primary residence looks like as a rental property. You could go and buy a new house to live in and turn your primary into your first rental property. I'm not sure if there are a lot of duplex, triplex, quadplex in your area. There is an option to use a 3.5-5% down-payment option live in one portion and rent out the rest. This would be the quickest and least amount of capital to get a few rentals very quickly. I would just make sure you are leaving enough that you feel comfortable with for reserves for capex, turnover, and vacancy. You could also buy a normal house and rent out rooms to friends possibly if you are comfortable doing that. Let me know if you have any other questions or need any kind of help.
