Hey guys I am brand new to bp as well as investing. I just wanted to get people takes on the first steps I should take. Should I buy really cheap beat up place and rehab it to hold and rent out, or sell it? Or should I buy expensive but nice places to rent out that doesn't need any work? Do I need to have a realtor on my side or can I just drive around looking at for signs of places for sale? And what do you guys think is the best for a first time buyer, single family or multifamily homes? Thanks guys, Shane.
