Investment Property - Townhome - Manchester,VA

[Arun K.]

I am planning to buy my first investment property which is a brand new town home 2 miles south of James river in Manchester, VA city ( exactly 3 miles from Virginia State Capital ).

I started listening to the podcast of BiggerPockets on youtube & started taking small steps towards being financially independent.

Property price is 380K and i am planning to put down 20% down. 

So here are my question's.

1) is it a good location? ( Schools are very bad )

2) can i expect minimum 2k rent ?

3) if you know of any other better location like suburbs of Richmond. let me know.

Appreciate your inputs.
