Would this be a good investment?
Hi guys I'm studying for my first investment which I'd like to initiate this year possibly after summer?
Would this be a good house to buy n hold?
Why or why not?

My objective here is to really start training myself to understand the market.

@Account Closed It looks in good condition. Would you be paying cash or getting a loan? Do you know the going rental rates for the area? It looks occupied, so you might have to deal with evicting prior owners. Sometimes people will damage a house before the leave, so you might want to have some money ready in case that happens.
Just a few things to consider when evaluating a property. I'm sure others will add more insight.
Best of Luck!
