I am looking to start purchasing houses to rent in the near future and, currently, I am considering purchasing in Louisville, KY and wanted some feedback on the type of property to invest in.I was wondering what people experiences have been with starting in real estate investing by purchasing cheaper older houses expecting a higher turnover rate vs. spending a bit more and trying to find longer term tenants .I have thought of pros and cons of both but I am considering starting out with cheaper houses and eventually, after having several units, purchasing more expensive units to try to get more long term tenants.cheaper houses higher volume pros:1) allow me to pay off the property sooner2) allow me to purchase more units faster3) Easier to afford if unit goes un-rentedcons1) higher maintenance costs due to age of house2) higher turnover rate for tenants due to proximity to college campus3) depending on property manager, turnover rate could drive up the cost of managementmore expensive, lower volume pros1) lower maintenance costs2) possibility of lower turnover if long term tenants are found3) nicer houses allowing higher rentcons1) would take longer to save up to purchase2) possibly more straining to pay mortgage if unit goes un-rented3) possibly lower profit margin due to higher mortgage paymentI know there are many more pros and cons for both but those are the top 3 of each for me.
