Nov 22, 2017 Home Trading Steps
Whether a property is worth enough for investment or not, that depends on a lot of factors like location, budget, profit probability and future expectations. And investing in a rental property also depends on these factors. If you are planning to invest in a rental property then you need to plan properly such that you get positive results accordingly. Less the mistakes you will make more benefits you tend to enjoy. So here are few things to remember when you plan to invest a rental property.
Analyse your financial situation: it is very important and better also to access your financial situation. Do check in detail how much you can afford, how much you can invest keeping aside your regular expenses. If you are taking a home loan, then consider the interest rates and see how you can manage the extra burden of EMI and other expenses as well.
Property type: make up your mind on the kind of property you are looking for. You can either rent out the property you are living in if you are moving out to some other property. Or you can buy a personal property and give it for rent from the very first day.
Invest locally: if you are investing for the first time, then it would be better than you invest in a property that is available locally. As in such case, it would be much easier for you to manage that property and keep a check on it. Your life would become much easier. Whereas if you invest in a property somewhere else, then you might face a lot of problems and during an emergency, you might not be able to go there and sort those problems.
Check the property: it is mandatory to inspect the property that you are investing in as it will give you clarity about the property. Check the condition of the walls, floors, availability of power and water, drainage system among others. If there is any problem it is better to repair it before moving further.
Extra budget: be prepared and allocate some extra budget for the maintenance of the property as you might require a certain amount for the regular maintenance of the house (if required). If you are prepared from the first day then you do not have to face stress and trouble in future. You can opt for a new launch to carry out less maintenance work and expense.
Rental income: make sure that you receive a positive rental growth from the very first day. All your expenses on loans, maintenance, services and other should be covered by the rental income and do not exceed the same.
