What type of rental purchases to make as a new investor with 100k
Hi my name is Dustin and I live on the pa/wv line near the northern panhandle. My question is I have about 100k that I want to invest in real estate. Am I better off to buy 10-20k dollar homes/duplexes that need completely renovated or spend 40-50k on something that just needs some updates. I'm new to this and not sure where to start. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
