Research Before You Invest

As a Realtor who also helps people invest in real estate, I'm often asked about the advantages and disadvantages of buying various types of properties. My standard answer is that it’s just too difficult – and even risky – to generalize without reference to specific properties, particularly in a market like this one.
 
In every case a lot of research must be done before you invest. There can be many considerations around financing, a property’s location and condition, its income potential, terms of use, holding costs, and much more.
 
So if you’ve thought about buying an investment property – and trust me, there are some great deals out there right now – please contact me any time. Through experience, I’ve come to know what to look for and what questions to ask. I can also help you make all the important calculations that could influence your final decision.
