Information for Investing:  Thinking of buying an investment property? When it comes to investing or being a landlord, everybody has certain goals and aspirations. However, we have found that there are certain guidelines every aspiring owner needs to know:

1. Compare. Statistics only go so far; the best measure of a property's market value is generally the sale prices of nearby properties. The same holds true for area rents. Remember, renters who can afford a high rent can afford to buy instead, so reasonably priced rent is a need.

Caveat: Tax Laws Change. Tax code is constantly changing, and a good investment is a good investment regardless of the tax code. The right property with the right financing is what you should look for as an investor. 1031x is a good vehicle, but it changes.

2. Start with something you know. Begin with an area and type of property you are familiar with. Whether you focus on single-family homes, condos or townhomes; starter homes to retirement next events, you will benefit from experience by specializing in one aspect of investment real estate properties.    Read more here.
