Building or buying a rental?
Hey y'all, so I had a quick question. I live in Albany Oregon and I'm looking to invest in my first rental property. The houses here are pretty expensive due to Oregon state Being the next town over. Would it be a better idea to potentially find a cheap piece of land and build 1-2 manufactured houses on that land and rent them out over buying a house for around 250k-300k and renting it out.
What are your thoughts? Thank you so much for your time Ana help in advance
