Real Estate Location Decision

Tanner Kenneth Jenkins

Posted

Hey guys, I am 21 and not married. Wherever I buy my first property at is where I will probably move to. I am open to all and any advice that you can give me. As someone who is looking to buy a rental property in the coming year, how did you all pick your locations to start? Are there websites or tools that I can use to decide on a location? Thanks!

too vague 

What markets do you have knowledge of?

What rental class do you intend to buy?

How much house can you buy?

Are you buying for cash flow or appreciation first?

Where do you have the most ground resources?

Picking the best location is far less impactful than just picking a location and sticking with it.
