Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

I’m open to exploring those locations since they aren’t too far of a drive.I’m leaning towards a SF property because I have $10,000 to put down, want to stay within my budget, and being new to this, I’d like to start small.

Does anyone have a refferal for a sewer scope company? I'd prefer a small business. I have 8 buildings with possibly 9 lines that I would like to get a package deal on sewer scopes of all the lines.

CT is 1-2 hour drive from my location depending on the town and is manageable for one project.

Idk if I like this tertiary of a location way outside of DFW.
