Looking into being Landlord

[Akeem Hutchinson]

So for my fist move in the REI world I'm looking to purchase a 2bX2b condo in my area and renovate it so it's more modern on the inside then move in myself and rent the other room. I'm still in the research stage of this plan but I feel really good about this route just to lower my living cost that way I have more money to put towards more investments while at the same time building up some equity. Are there any suggestions or point of interest that I should take under consideration before I pull the trigger and move forward?
