Before you buy real estate, you must analyze it, just like you would analyze a stock purchase before investing in the market. Just because a house looks like a good deal doesn't mean it is - you must gather all your information, crunch the numbers and then figure out if a real estate deal is...

Investing in real estate can be a profitable venture when you do it right. But how do you know you’re doing it right? That’s the question most investors have. Sure, you could buy the fanciest house in town and always have it filled with tenants, but how do you know that you’re...

You invest in rental property to make money, but you can’t make money without great tenants. Even if you buy a turnkey property with the best tenants, most tenants don’t stay forever. You’ll need a way to screen for tenants and find the best renters for your property. Doing it...

As a real estate investor, you have more to track than the rental income you collect. If you only track your income, you’d be on the hook for a much larger tax liability than you planned. Tracking your expenses helps ensure that the investment is the right fit (you’re making a profit)....

Real estate investments can be a profitable way to add a passive income stream to your bottom line. You bring money in from rent, spend money to maintain the property, and hopefully have a decent profit at the end of the year. But all this money going in and out must be tracked and not just with...

Real estate investments can be a great way to diversify your portfolio, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all approach. You can invest in luxury homes, average suburban homes, urban condos, and flats, or homes in a college town. If you buy a home in a college town, chances are you’ll have...

Not only do you need the money to buy the property, but then you have to maintain it, which costs money too....

You invested in real estate to make money, but now you’re wondering if you should keep it. Whether life changed or you just wonder if now is the right time to get out and make a decent profit, you must consider many decisions and circumstances before selling. If you’re wondering if now...

Selling a tenant-occupied property poses its challenges. While all good things must come to an end, as a landlord, you’re locked into a lease agreement with your tenants. You can’t decide to sell the home and tell them to move - they have the right to stay through the lease term. Does...

Every day, investors decide they’ve had enough owning investment homes. They’d rather liquidate the investment and either enjoy their retirement savings or invest elsewhere. Sometimes it’s about the market - they found a better market to invest their money, and sometimes it’...

You invest in property to make money. If you made money acting as a landlord, you felt good about your property. But then, when it’s time to sell, it could get a lot more complicated. Not too many buyers want a rental property, so your audience is limited. Suddenly it makes investing in...

You invested in a rental property to make money, but that scenario may look a little iffy when it comes time to sell. Even in a rocking real estate environment, you may find it hard to sell a rental property for top dollar if you don’t have the right help. Selling your rental property...

Investing in real estate isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. When you decide to add real estate investments to your portfolio, you need to decide where to invest. The location can make or break your investment. Whether you want to invest in the cheapest place to buy a home or the place with...
