Buying First Property In Rhode Island

[Brandon Walason]

Hello Everyone,

I took a hiatus from studying REI and from Biggerpockets, but I'm glad to say I am back and ready to go! My wife and I are currently going through the pre-approval process to buy our first property. We want to make our first purchase here in Rhode Island with REI in mind and make it serve as our first investment as well. Our goal is to house hack, but the multi-family market seems to be terrible right now. What would fellow RI investors suggest? Try to get into a multi and house hack, or buy a single with the intention on moving and renting it out? What has the market in RI been like for you, especially since the COVID outbreak? I want to enter property ownership in a way that helps set us up to start our REI business. Thank you!
