Post: potential investor

hi guys/girls,

I am interested in owning a home in my town with the desire to rent it out within 5 years of me living there. Majority of the homeowners in my town are paying way more in taxes than what their property is worth (many of the businesses have moved out, the school system is plummeting, and crime is increasing slowly). I am moving out of my parents home in about a year from today and i am weighing my options of renting an apartment (for about $750 a month) vs investing in my own property while i am young (the mortgage will probably equate to what i am paying a month in rent). The homes in my town are at an all-time low and we're expecting a boom in our economy in the next 10-20 years since a port is being built now which will run along the east coast (1500 jobs have already been created)

My question is: what should i be researching right now to make the best choice possible this time next year? Since property is low now and taxes are high, is it foolish to buy or is this the time to invest?

Hi, Marco
Thanks for the response.
I have recently downloaded the UBG and i'm looking to reading it. I can tell the members on this site are very eager to help, which is very encouraging.
Thanks again

hi Brandon. Thanks for the response. I've recently downloaded the Beginners guide yesterday evening. I plan to occupy myself with that for the remainder of this week.
I will look into the last one.
Thanks. (pic is on the way)

Hi All,

I've been interested in real estate for quit a while now. I recently finished college so finally I have the time to involve myself in real estate.

As of now, I'm looking to purchase property for renters in hopes to create a source of passive income. My long term goal is to spend years learning the real estate business to eventually buy and flip houses for my retirement.

I'm ecstatic and confident about my goals thanks to the resources and info available on this site.

I look forward to learn from and get to know all.
