First Rental Property

[Thomas Bowman]

For those that are in the rental property business, when you first got started, how important was it to have your first rental relatively close to your primary residence?

I have a ton to learn, but it seems to make sense to have it close but that the same time I’m located right outside of D.C and I am a little nervous to put forth a ton of money , especially for my first rental.

Thanks in advance!
