Buying First Property

Anthony Barrueco
Posted

Hello, this is my first post so thank you in advance to anyone who shares their 2 cents. I am looking to buy my first house in 2021. I live in NYC and trying to figure out whether I should buy a fixer upper house upstate NY and rent it out afterwards or should I invest in out of state buy and hold properties? Currently looking at New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Georgia, and Texas.

Thank you again!

It's always easiest to start in your local market. Lots of people invest out of state, but most have some decent experience. Get a few deals under your belt upstate before venturing elsewhere, just my two cents.
