Know what you’re looking for

Unit or house, regional or metro, features of the property, will you live in it or rent it out?

To assist with consistent cash flow, it’s important that your investment property is generating rent as much as possible.

This may mean taking the time to consider the needs of your potential tenants when you are making a decision. Often, an investment property will need to be close to facilities such as schools, universities, and hospitals, railway stations, shopping precincts, decent roadways and even airports.

Finding the right investment property is achieved by doing plenty of legwork. Fortunately, the online world makes this relatively accessible, with online real estate pages which enable you to search for an investment property around the clock.

We’re all familiar with the “Location, Location, Location” mantra. As a rule, the aim is to buy a quality, well-located investment property, where future tenants want to dwell.
