Most newbie investors are perplexed with the question of how to find investment properties for sale? This page will focus on how to find a profitable real estate investment property. A good investment property often has very different characteristics than one’s dream home. For some, investment properties are those that are cheaper than average yet command average or above-average rents.
This might be a “distressed single-family” home or a small apartment building. In other cases, the investment property is the one in desperate need of repairs or renovations. You buy it for a low price, invest in repairs and strategic upgrades, and then sell the property.
Fix-and-rent is a hybrid of these two approaches, buying homes in need of repair, making the needed renovations and repairs, and then renting out your newly desirable rental property. You need to look for areas with high growth, higher rental yield, and low vacancy rates. You make the money when you rent it. The challenge for many is finding the right properties to buy.
