First investment
Biggerpockets community I have a issue and I'm looking for my first investment property. I want to hold this property as a rental for as long as possible. My bank has me approved for 215k but I want a home in the 100k range. I will be using a conventional loan to save my fha loan for another property (I guess).???i would live there for a year then rent it out and move to my next rental ect.
My question is what would be the best strategy for me to build a healthy portfolio.
(In your opinion)
