First Investment Property

Samuel Nelson
Posted

My wife and I are interested in purchasing an investment property in South Carolina. Our primary home is in Boston, purchased it three years ago and have approx. $80K in equity. We will put approx 20-30% down on the second home. What’s the best strategy or road map to finance our second home/investment property? We may rent it, however, can afford it without renting it. Thoughts?

So maybe buy it and put it into Airbnb. Use it when you want and rent it when you want.
