Decide what you want to do with an investment before you buy. Then make sure that it meets the qualifications that will enable you to do as you wish.

* Keep an eye peeled so that you don’t miss rehab red flags - It is not unusual for a real estate investment to require some repairs. But some repairs are not worth the money. This is thanks to most buyers’ inability to perceive their value. As a result your property’s price may not climb in response to the repair. While you must repair plumbing and HVAC problems they may not result in a payoff. These types of repairs should be viewed as potential red flags.

* Watch the market. - You can do just about any type of real estate investing regardless of the economy, But the market where you buy must be right for the type of investing. For example, down-market flips have to be exceptional deals. You also have to make sure that there is a buyer’s market in your area. A local market plays a major role in a deal’s viability.
