Buying First Rental Help

[Kevin Powell]

Hi BP Fam! I'm close to being ready to pull plug. I'm in California and looking to purchase my first rental in Sacramento, CA. I was thinking of going with a first time home buyer program, puttin a little down, and renting out, the typical way you know? Anything i should be aware of, do/don't do, lookout for, how much shoould i save up? Average down is about 7-15k. So I'd wanna have 15-20k for potential repairs or if i have it for a month before i put a tenant in. Any helpful tips appreciated.
