Rushing and buying a property for 200k, chasing rents, dealing with evictions, constant repairs, and seeing baby appreciation over the years is not the best moveSaving up a bit more, buying in a more solid location that has higher quality tenants and larger room for appreciation will usually play out better for you in the long run.
