Buying Decisions cheapr, smaller units or more expensive

[Matt Conrad]

Hi Folks,

Just starting out. I am curious, in general, if you initially have just a block of cash to use - lets say 70000 for down payments. Is there more advantage (tax, cash flow, etc) to get many cheaper units or less, costlier units (maybe because the area is better). I understand there are a lot of variables like area, rents, and others. But I want to get a sense of what your experience is. I know - this is seriously newbe question :)

Thanks for the consideration.

Matt
