Congratulations Jacob on taking the first step towards becoming a real estate investor! Here are a few tips to help you get started .

1. Research the market: Understand the local real estate market and identify areas with high rental demand. Look for areas with strong job growth and a low vacancy rate.

2. Identify your target audience: Decide what type of tenant you want to attract and look for properties that will appeal to them. For example, if you want to attract families, look for properties with at least 3 bedrooms.

3. Look for properties with good cash flow: Make sure the property will generate enough rental income to cover all of your expenses, including mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance.

4. Consider the condition of the property: Look for properties that are in good condition or that only need minor repairs. Avoid properties that require major renovations or have structural issues.

5. Network with local professionals: Connect with local real estate agents, property managers, and other investors in the area. They can provide valuable insights into the local market and help you find good deals.

6. Learn and keep learning.

And lastly if you need help with your financing I can refer you to someone. GoodLuck!

Both options you've presented have their own advantages and disadvantages, The decision of which option to choose will depend on your personal financial situation, investment goals, and appetite for risk. It's a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or a real estate professional to help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
