That sales price is a bit high for what we can afford right now but thank you for looking into it! 

@Jaycee Greene great question; we initially decided on SFH (but like most plans, that changed fast). We then started looking at duplexes because of the more favorable first time homebuyer rates and idea of taking a moderately larger step towards our goals.

@Melissa Justice amazing advice, thank you! We're definitely gonna start looking at and researching those two options now 

Hi everyone! Me and my wife have been wanting to get into investing for years but we've finally flipped the switch and are ready to take the plunge. We've been reading rental investment books and listening to the BiggerPocket podcast, as well as asking around for more info. But we're a bit stuck with so many questions on how to get started. We're currently renting and both working full time. We figured we'd start our portfolio with a house hacking gig, but more of a "live in renovation" before renting and following the BRRR strategy. However, the properties in my area (Broward County) are so expensive and finding a good deal with a reasonable CoCROI seems impossible right now. So if anyone has an advice on where to start, and/or how to start, we're all ears!
