Vendee homes for sale

[Jamaar Brown]

So I plan on buying vendee for my first real estate property. My cousins is a realtor and she recommends I stay there for a yearly while I do the rehab. She said it will be better than paying rent and a Mortage, which is true.

My question to all first time property owners is how did you start out? Did you stay in the property during rehab or did you just strictly use it as investment property from the beginning.
