I am looking at buying my first rental property and wondering what strategy makes the most sense, I have some cash can buy one house that might not be in an area where the value will go up anytime soon but has slot of renters and the house would need little work if any before its ready to rent, option 2 would buy maybe 2 in that area but they need work so can use a credit card to cover the repairs and help build my credit ( I have a good score just not a real long history which the bank dont seem to like) option 3 would be take the cash I have to cover 20% or higher of a down payment on a house in a better area where rent is 300 higher on average my goal is to buy and hold and rent maybe down the road get into buying and selling thanks for any opinions
