First of all, the best solution is to choose a town you know. It's not just about the specifics of the real estate market. Access to second-hand apartments and the primary market. Knowledge of the city, its strengths and weaknesses is essential knowledge from the investor's point of view. Beginners should pay special attention to this. Not recognizing the city is one of the most common mistakes. Just by investors taking their first steps.
There are many things to consider when looking for a rental property. Primarily related to the location and the apartment itself. We'll deal with that in a moment. Currently, the search for real estate that will become your investment has moved to the Internet. It is here that you can browse through hundreds of ads the fastest (and you will probably read that much). Many apartment search engines have "facilitations" that will help you find the perfect property. We mean here the possibility of choosing the area, floor, etc. More and more often, apart from photos of the premises, you can see a three-dimensional visualization. Advertisements for the sale of a flat should be read very carefully. And of course confront reality.
The entire process of looking for an apartment for investment is usually limited to selecting a few items from even several hundred ads and then submitting an offer (usually several). At the end of the process comes the real estate that will become an investment.
