@Makani Donaldson it all depends on your investment goals.If you buy a Class A rental, it'll usually have negative cashflow, which will be hopefully offset with appreciation and better tenants.If you buy a CLass C or D rental, it should have pretty good cashflow because you may not realize much in appreciation and you'll have a lot more problems finding good tenants.

I thought marketing to a wider geographic audience would produce more interest.

I currently have 25 units in the Lewiston area and plan to get many more. 

Hello all I'm new to bigger pockets I've been learning about real estate and the different ways real estate can benefit me now that I have a plan and know more specifically what I want out of it I'm just stuck on how I should go about buying my first rental property

I hope you’ve been able to meet some great people and learn more about this beautiful business.

I think RI will continue to appreciate and over time as you(tenants) pay down the mortgage creating more equity.

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

I stopped taking on any more properties where I would be theProperty Manager.

As you purchase more, your net worth will go up more quickly than the savings in interest with the other option.

Multi family properties on the other hand tend to be more lucrative with numbers, especially if you are open minded to different strategies.
