1. Your purpose of buying investment property. There is two type people in target, tenant or homebuyer. If you are buying a property in the hope of becoming a landlord then make sure you have checked the areas rental potential and make sure the types of properties that you are planning on buying are the ones in demand by tenants. If you are planning on flipping the property, make sure you buy a property that is wanted by homebuyers.

Give you an example, if you want to rent out a 3 bedroom condo near to the school, you should try to get the rental comparison of other 3 bedroom condo next to the same school.

If you use a 3 bedroom condo that is few kilometer away from the school, then your comparisons maybe way off. Few kilometer distance can takes you from the desirable part of town to the rough drug dealing part. Compare type of school, college, university ….etc

The right professionals could be builders, solicitors, contractors, property agent or someone else, skimping on employing qualified people to do a job correctly can cost you a lot more money than you expect. Invest in the right way make you success in fast trap.

You even can hire a cheap and professional property personal. Not just because someone expensive mean that can do a better job than someone who is cheaper. Just because someone is cheap, doesn’t mean that they can do a good job. The only way to find out for sure is to check references and their qualifications to do the job.

Look for recommend person, speak to real people, preferably face to face, knows each other. You need to figure out their professional level and they must know you need and your purpose of buying investment property.
