Looking at house for buy to rent

[Account Closed]

Hello all,

I'm currently renting in a nice area in Virginia, and the house that I am renting is for sale. Now I have crunched numbers and honestly it would be a nice investment. Only problem. Its priced WAY to high. This would be my first investment property if I were to buy. Its about 250-300k more than surrounding houses that are larger. It is a 4 unit house with about 3100 sq. ft. I'm sure it is selling as an investment property but Jesus its still too high. I'd like to start the process with some tips if you guys might share any. I'm still living there. <--- Key point
