Want to Invest in Real Estate? 7 Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Buy Another Real Estate
You’ve heard that investing in real estate can be very lucrative. Before you get started, here are seven questions to ask yourself.
- 1. Is this a hobby or a business?
Ask yourself why you want to invest in real estate.
- Do you want another income stream
- Do you want to build equity in a house
- How many sellers and buyers do you want to speak with each day/week/month
- How much time do you have to invest in real estate
- Are you working a full time job
- Are you retired looking for additional income
- What do you want to do with your time?
If you want to build a real estate investing business, then you need to treat it like a business.
Are you going to be a landlord? Then you need to determine how much time you want to spend collecting rent, maintaining the property, making repairs, answering tenant calls late at night, etc.
Or have a property management company handle the tenants and maintenance? Then you need to determine who you will hire to manage your property and how much you will pay them. Typically a property management company will charge one months rent to locate a tenant and then charge 8%-10% of the monthly rent for collecting the rent and answering all calls from the tenant. You still need to set aside a reserve fund for maintenance.
