I've got a few homes around that price I'm gonna look at. My realtor Ted Newlin said that it's usually better to go with something a little higher priced (100k ish) since I plan to turn it into a rental down the road.
Dunno if he's sincere or trying trick me, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm gonna meet up with him this afternoon to look at our #1 potential buy that's priced at 105k.

Keep in mind that the realtor is paid a percentage based on the sales price of the house. So a higher sales price, more profit for the realtor.
Not that a specific realtor is trying to push you above your means, but with this incentive for him to push a higher price in mind, I would take his statement with a grain of salt.
