First Time Investor

[Drew Joseph]

Hello, my wife and I are currently looking to move to Charleston, WV while she completes her final two years of medical school. I am also wanting to start my REI career while working full time. I am trying to figure out the best way to find housing for us while also tying it into a smart first investment move. Here are the options I have thought about. Any ideas on which route you would take?

1. Buy a house, fix it up, and sell after she is done in two years.

2. Find a multi-unit complex and house hack. 

3. Buy a long term rental and BRRRR. While we rent somewhere else for two years.

Any comments, feedback, or ideas would be awesome! Thanks!
