Louisville investing advice REI

[Syed Ahmed]

hello everyone, 

First time posting. New investor into Louisville market. I've been looking for past few months into SFR, duplex for cash flow. I'm conflicted between rented properties vs. Rehab and rent properties. On one hand, you don't leave room for equity and the other is the risk of rehabbing and not renting.

Any advice appreciated 

Also,  what areas are you guys looking into.  Lately have focused in old Louisville and shawnee.

Hello Syed,

Are you local or long distance? It's much easier to buy turn key rentals, but you lose the equity. If you find a reputable contractor I lean to fix and rent personally. 

I like Shawnee, Ferncreek, Shively, and Iroquois personally.
