Cash Flow - Where do I start?

[Ashley S Brown]

Hello all,

I am a newbie to real estate investing. I have gone through the process of speaking with a realtor and applying for a loan. I was approved for a $155k-165k loan and with this being my first time buying, I'm wondering what the best option is for cash flow in my first investment. I live in Boise, ID. There isn't much on the market in my price range, I originally was thinking of buying a home - but now I am searching different apartments/town-homes/condos/duplexes. Any advice would be very much appreciated as I am just getting my feet wet and would love to start off on the right foot. Thanks in advance!
