Sleep training

So I'm planning on sleep training our baby from day 1 (where he sleeps in his own crib right off.) The only problem is that his room is on the other side of the house which makes me nervous him being that far. So I'm wondering if I should move his crib to our bedroom for the time being or get a bassinet? If a bassinet, can any of y'all recommend a good one that's not too expensive? TIA!
