 Hello and welcome!  House-hacking is a good way to get started, especially if you don't have any money.  I think that the more units you can get under one roof is the best if they don't need too much work.  With a duplex, tri plex or a four plex you can get the renter(s) to make (or cover) your debt service payment.  I am 59 years old and I found BP about 4 months ago and I am still learning.  I graduated from college and got a broker license in 1980.  Regardless of getting a business degree I felt more comfortable with construction back then.  I got into construction when I was 17 years old.  If you think I can be any help to you please contact me at any time.  Good luck!
