Buying our first Home

Hello BP community!

Still a new member here and new to the REI world. I currently see myself in the research stage right now being a full time college student with no job. My question i have that I am seeking some advice on is our first home. I graduate college in December this year and looking to have a job lined up not far after. My family and I will be located here in Hawaii for another 10-12 months after I graduate.

So my question is since we are going to move back home to TX, during that time here in Hawaii before we leave, if an opportunity arises should I look to buy my first Investment property? Or should I wait until my family and I move home to TX because at that time we will be looking to buy our first home.

Thank you for any and all advice and comments! Looking forward to growing my knowledge base and network in this community!

Gabriel Beverly home ownership for people in primary markets where the rent to value ratios are under 1% is one of the biggest mistakes financially you can make.

Instead invest that money.
