New to Real Estate investing looking to buy my first rental

[Christopher Cornett]

I am new to the BiggerPockets form and have recently listened to Brandon Turner’s book on Real Estate Investing. I am about 40 miles outside of the Raleigh, NC region where housing is booming. I am starting to analyze properties and drafting my first financial statements so I can plug information in and run numbers before making any purchases. Any advIce for fIrst rental property type and general key things to be aware of? Thanks!
