Emerging markets contain many risks and are difficult to navigate.

Most emerging economies are high inflation which means that the currency depreciates over time.  

It is hard for me to listen to climate emergency people as nothing has really come to fruition.

Also, since you mention that you have little to no money saved for a downpayment, you should also make sure that you have enough money saved (or access to some) to cover any emergencies (furnace goes out, tentant stops paying rent, etc.

For example, I want to give them a Google Voice number and an email address to send maintenance requests to, but also provide an emergency number.

Or preferably build up an emergency fund then address the debt after.

For me, as a software engineer, I am bias towards markets that have an emerging tech scene.

This data felt safer to us since we didn't have access to a lot of money at the time that we could tap into if there were an emergency.

Set financial goals, for example: find how much you can spend, how comfortable you are putting money into rehabs, have any emergency fund that covers 3-6 months of living expenses, learn to run your numbers on each deal3.
