If you are considering buying an investment property in order to rent it to tenants and earning money from it, you will need to do some specific research especially to determine the monthly rental price of the property. Take a few tours around the neighborhood yourself; go at different times and days of the week to get a good idea of the area. Sunday might be the complete opposite of a Tuesday night for example. You want to know and make sure if there is anything that may turn out to be a plus or a problem for the future tenants. Like schools, bars, crime, shops, parking space etc. The history of the property is crucial to know if the tenants used to rent for long periods because then you shouldn’t have any problems sub leasing the house either. Research the rental rates for equal properties in the neighborhood and see what they are asking. Check out the infrastructure as well, motorways, public transport etc. If the house is in need of renovation you should take these costs into consideration.
