Entry post- Should I buy or rent first apartment post grad?
Hey everyone,
I am in my last semester at Ohio State University looking to learn before I dive into investing. It is my hope to get into wholesaling and investing once I graduate (too many legal barriers to wholesale in Ohio). My first inclination is to buy my first apartment once I move instead of rent. I will not know where I will be placed for work until 30-60 days before I start. Does purchasing an apartment make financial sense? Will I have enough time to find a good deal and buy right? Is there anything I should consider that I am missing?
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
