Aspiring Investor Looking to Get Past Initial Blocks

[Rajiv R.]

I’m interested in getting into RE investing. I understand that the best way for a beginner is to start with a duplex (or similar), but we just purchased a home for ourselves and of course have a mortgage; will I be able to get a mortgage on the investment property? Any tips?

I am going to start looking for properties but would appreciate any tips. Browsing the site and Reddit RE investing too, but wanted to ask the question myself.

I want to take the plunge but have mental/knowledge blocks and once I can get some answers from folks who have done it, I know it’ll happen.

For context I’m an attorney and have worked mostly with Real Estate PE clients so the field and lingo is not foreign to me but doing it myself is very different.
