Does anyone here have an opinion on puchasing a house in Meridian vs renting one? How easy is it to maintain renters in that town etc? Im going to be living with one or two other roomates and was contemplating a purchase and then renting after I leave.
IF you want to buy something in Meridian, let me suggest a DUPLEX. I had a buddy that made some $eriou$ bank by owning a duplex. He lived in one half, and rented the other half out. The rent he made paid for about 75% of the mortgage. He banked quite a bit of his Housing Allowance. He also made some money when he sold it. If you can't sell it due to a weak market, then you can aways rent both sides out and continue to make some ca$h.
Just an idea.
