What you SHOULD do:

• Always have your eyes open for a deal.

• Talk to everyone you know about what you’re looking for. (You never know where your next deal will come from!)

• Be ready to roll with financing, repair budget, and your numbers when it comes to ARV or rental rates.

• When the time comes to make a deal, be ready!

What you should NOT do:

Investing is a business.

Purchasing a primary residence may be emotional, but investing is about numbers. In your primary residence, you might be concerned about repairs and what is too much. In your investments, think about the income the property will generate and figure what percent of that will need to be dedicated to repairs, maintenance and capital expenditures (major updates like roof/furnace/etc). All properties will need money put into them over time, so determine what the appropriate numbers are to make your deal work for you!

Looking for Big Wins in Real Estate
