Hi! So I just got approved for a loan and I start my new job in a couple of days! I am looking to get out of renting but my new job may or may not move me after I finish training in a couple of months.

I want to acquire properties but i'm not sure if I should hold off to see how my job takes me or just go for it and see if I can rent out my place if I get moved. I'm not sure what kind of property I should get. Should I get something more for me or should I get something that would be easily able to rent out in case I leave? I think I prefer a condo over anything else just because the maintenance is taken care of. I don't know if I should just go low end and get a one bedroom till I'm sure what happens or go ahead and get the 3bd 2bth that I ideally want! Obviously the latter would be more expensive.

What's the wisest route to take?!
