I’m new and ready to learn

[Brett Boyce]

I live in rural southwestern Pa. I’m 37 and married. Our only child has moved out and married. We are now considering investing in real estate. I’m just starting to do research and think that I’m interested in a buy and hold type of investment. Do you think I should start with something local? My ultimate goal is to own something near a beach. Rent that possibly as an Airbnb until one day retiring there.
