What to Consider About Buying a Rental Property in Your Neighborhood
Very rarely is it a wise move to buy rental properties in your backyard. Selecting the right market is instrumental to your success, and it involves researching things like vacancy rates, crime data, and more. Especially if you don’t plan on managing the property yourself, there’s no reason to invest close to home. Instead, consider investing in landlord friendly states and in proven markets with job diversity, strong schools, and consistent cash flow. Check out this video on choosing a rental market.
Ideas for Finding a Lender for New Construction Rentals
If you’re looking for lenders, the first resource I can recommend is my friend Dan Kraus at Churchill Mortgage. The second thing to consider is that there are a lot of great small, local banks out there that are looking for business. Go shake hands with some bankers in your town and find out what types of banking products they can offer. Private money is also always an option for creative lending.
