I'd be looking to finance with an FHA loan meaning there'd be a window where I wouldn't be living there and wouldn't be able to collect rent, but by the time I could I'd be looking to do a lot of landlording things that are new to me from long distance and without the experience and short time window I'm not entirely sure if the idea is too far fetched.I have no problem living with my brother, it's just if I wait to purchase, that first investment property probably won't happen until I'm done with my training 2+ years from now.What would you do?
