What types of properties are great to start with?
Hello! Me and two buddies recently went into business together and we are having a disagreement about our first rental property. Me and one of my partners are thinking about our first place being relatively inexpensive and not in the best area. This property will more than likely attract not so great renters, but will cash flow significantly more than a 70-90K house. The other partner wants to spend a good amount for our first property and get a nice spot that will generate cash flow around $150-$200 dollars a month. If we go with his option it will be literally years until we can purchase a second property. I see the pros and cons for each route. Can anyone let me know what their thoughts are on this? We live in Lima, OH and real estate here is very inexpensive. Any answers are much appreciated!
