Some say that it’s a terrible time to purchase real estate, while others insist that there has never been a better time to invest your money. Don’t believe the hype on either end. It’s just not worth it. Make sure you read this article and the tips within, to understand how you can make an informed decision as a buyer.
Signing a lease
Reading reviews of apartment complexes is a great thing to do before signing a lease. Of course the rental representative will give you a nice tour and explain all of the nice things there are to see, but someone who has already lived there is able to give you a much more in-depth review of your future rental. The management will leave out the dark happenings in the complex, while reviews written by ex- tenants have a closer feel for the truth.
When it comes to real estate, make sure to have an experienced and knowledgeable real estate professional who can help you. Make sure you have a trusting relationship with them to avoid any conflicts. These agents can help you by providing you with inside information that can help you make the best property choices.
Commercial license
If you are buying rental units to turn into a commercial business, don’t be afraid to go big. In many cases, the minimum number of units per property that requires a commercial license is low enough that you will want properties with more units than that. It is only incrementally more difficult to care for 25 units than for 5 units.
