Hello. To answer, should I buy an investment property or first home, there would be certain things that need consideration. You will have to assess your current situation and the market, as well. Based on your question, this is going to be your first property, so a set of things you must look at is the price of the investment property, the expected returns and the rent you’d be paying for your rental space, given you decide to buy the investment property.


Should I Buy a Home or Investment Property First?


Now, say you decide to buy a home in an alternate scenario, that decision must be made based on your immediate requirements of a house you own, while considering the money you’d save on rent and your long-term plans.


To narrow things down, I will take both cases now. 


  1. Buying an Investment Property: You can go for an investment property if you think that gaining good returns, while still moving around, is what you need at this point. See the investment vs income you’d be able to generate and how much time it will take for you to buy a house in the future. If settling down is not in your plans, going for an investment property can be a good call.

  2. Buying a Home: If you want to go ahead with buying your first home, see if this is the time to settle and if the answer is yes, it will put you in a clear mind. Consider the house as an investment as well, for the future. See how it makes a difference in your expenses. Question yourself whether you’d be willing to let go of the rental income you’d made with the investment property.


I hope this helps you figure should I buy my first home or an investment property.
