Understand not every body is good and made to be a landlord but if you have some investment basics lined up you could end up making acquiescent decisions.
While the main motivation behind  acquiring Homes as Investments is,  rents can cover up the monthly payments while the property is rising in value seems win-win situation in logic but there is more to it.
Okay here we go!!


1.The most important and fun part of  the whole thing is that be assured that it is you who is at the driving seat while negotiating and striking a deal there is going to be very lean competition from other potential buyers and sellers are always at the receiving end.
2.You will need to look for a home your family would use personally and rent out a part to pay at least a part of the recurring payments.

3.I urge you to look for a used home or a deal where the owner is desperately in need of hard cash to pay for the rising amortization he would have incurred upon, it is very likely that you will find one in this meadow.

4.Look for a home that is also at, or close to a resort destination, or no more than a 3 hour drive from a major city.

5.Houses that are located on or near Bus Stops or Railway Stations are easier to rent, and have a propensity to go up in worth the fastest and reward a better rent.

6.Rent for at least some time, this gives you an opportunity to get acquainted with the area and in the mean time you may find better deals and you may also find out impending faults with the home.

7.Stay away from areas that are prone to floods, and ideally look for independent homes not apartments as value of the constructed piece tends to decrease in value faster and value of land always goes up it is the land part that will reward you in the long run.

8.It is very unlikely that rents produce enough money to hire professionals to take care of maintenance and repairs; you'll need to have the skills and patience to fix leaky roofs, repair decayed wood and paint rusted window grills.

9.The last and most important part of the process is the timing of the deal ideally go out on home hunting whiles every one else is vacationing school holidays are the ideal months and beware that you must be laid-back at this the more lazy you are the better.
 Have a nice time.

To be fair to Bernanke, real estate values are declining nationwide to the tune of 4.4 percent at last count. (See the S&P 500/CaseShiller Composite 20 year-over-year change below.) This hasn't happened since the 1930s
