I just finished graduate school and am looking for a rental property to invest in long-term and sell the property after it has appreciated ~20% in 10-15 years.My budget is around 250-300K and I'm looking for properties (with little to no repair work needed) in up and coming areas of the city as well as in established areas where I can reach my investment goal of a ~20% appreciation in 10-15 years OR have positive cash flow from rent.

Your daughter will learn how to be a tenant and she will be able to establish a rental history that could serve her well.
