Hey Everyone!

I'm finally getting around to posting after spending the last month reading everything I can. I bet everyone has seen this thread title 50 times before as it seems this area is packed with small to big time real estate investors.

I'm looking to purchase my first home while renting out rooms to cover the mortgage. Going to look into finding a RE agent that can help me get a deal on an owner-occupied property. Then I think flipping houses is the next step for me.

I made a post asking for help on my current situation if anyone feels inclined to chime in:
