Buying rental property for first time buyers???

Me and my boyfriend have been looking into buying a house and I think it would be a good idea to buy a rental property first, fix it up, and rent it out, to make some money (while paying for the mortgage). Would it be a good idea, or would it be a better idea to buy a house to live in now, and possibly, if the money allows, buy a rental property in the future. What are your thoughts on the idea?

Why don't you buy a duplex? You can earn equity with a place for you and a place to rent out.
