Continue renting or buy primary
So I'm just starting out in Denver, and my ultimate goal is to increase my cashflow. I'm currently renting at an apartment in the Highlands for $1,300 a month and I'm not pocketing much after expenses each month.
Basically I'm wondering if I should keep renting and use my 25K savings to invest in a rental that would (hopefully) add income. Or if it would be better to use that money as a down payment on a condo as a primary residence.
I am finding places near capital hill that look like I can keep my expenses down around $1,000/month including HOA, taxes and insurance. I'm not convinced that I'll be able to find a rental property in the Denver market that would net $300 each month.
Any thoughts? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything!
