Anne Cantwell

I am a I'm writing to introduce myself. My husband and I live in California, but are looking to invest in our first property within the next year in the Rochester area (specifically a nice suburb like Pittsburg or Henrietta, as my husband attended RIT). We plan to buy and hold. I am trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible through reading and listening to rental income podcasts. If you have any tips, Id like to say thank you in advance so much for any advice you'd be willing to share. I am a teacher who has saved 45,000 in my first couple years of teaching. We are looking to buy a SFR in cash when I've saved about 100k. I'm somewhat risk averse (my philosophy is kind of slow and I am a new mom, teacher, and artist who is eager to approach real estate in the best way to provide us with more financial freedom
