Things For New Investors to Consider When Buying Their 1st Rental
If you were advising a new buy and hold rental property investor what are the most important things you would tell them to consider before buying their first rental?
I am putting together some literature for a new investor and have some things in mind to pass along to him, but wanted to see what the BP community thought.
Thanks in advance!
