Buying an investment property is a big step towards generating passive income. But, in order to maximize your investment, it's important to know if you're ready to take the step from homeowner to landlord.

Here are questions to ask yourself before buying your first investment property:

1️⃣ Are you clear on your investment goals?
There are so many ways to invest in property -- are you planning to rent it? Flip it? Hold it as a long-term investment? Be sure to talk to a financial planner before you invest in real estate.

2️⃣ Do you know the local market?
If you're going to buy an investment property, you'll want to be sure you have a solid understanding of the market you're investing in. I can help you understand the local market trends, wherever you're thinking about buying!

3️⃣ Do you have enough savings to cover both of your mortgages?
If you're planning to turn your investment into a rental property, be sure you have enough savings to cover a few months of rent in the event that your property remains vacant for a few months before you can begin generating income.

4️⃣ Do you have time for the added responsibility?
Owning an investment property is a big commitment -- finding tenants, maintaining the home and managing the property can be expensive and time-consuming. Be sure you have the ability to dedicate the time and resources before you commit.

5️⃣ You have a good and reliable team.
When you own an investment property, you'll want to have a good network of real estate professionals, lenders, home repair contractors, cleaning services, and more. Be sure you have the right team in place before you become a landlord.

If you could buy an investment property anywhere in the world and have a guaranteed ROI, where would you buy it?

Tell me if I'm right:

I bet the last time you were on vacation, you thought, “we should buy some property here."

And while vacation homes can be an amazing investment, there are a few questions to consider before you start buying beach or mountain themed decor for your dream property. ⤵️

☀️Who will maintain the home?

☀️Do you need rental income in order to pay the mortgage? If so, will you hire a property manager?

☀️Does the community or HOA allow short term rentals?

☀️How often will we (actually) use it?

Bottom line? Do your research and really think through your options before you even consider buying a second home.

Are you down to downsize?

My clients often wrestle with the idea of downsizing; they're just not sure if they're ready to give up that space!

If you're in the same boat, here are 4 questions you should ask yourself:

1. “Can I maintain my home on my own (without the help of handymen, landscapers, a cleaning crew, etc.)”

2. “Energy costs are rising. Can I afford to keep up?”

3. “When was the last time I had overnight guests? Is my guest bedroom collecting dust?”

4. Am I willing to part with a little (or a lot!) of furniture, clothing, and other items that won't fit in a smaller home?

5. “I might need to purchase smaller furniture. Can I afford it?”

If you think downsizing is in your immediate future, here’s a hot tip: Create a solid plan for getting rid of unwanted items. Coordinate a yard sale and identify local charities that can use what you dont’ sell.

Are you planning to downsize soon? YES or NO! 👇

Learn from their mistakes!

As a realtor with years of experience, here are 5 common buyer mistakes that I can help you avoid. ⤵️

1. Searching for a home before you’ve been pre-approved to buy. If you don't have that pre-approval letter in hand, sellers are way less likely to take your offer seriously.

2. Assuming you need 20 percent down to buy a home. Different loan types require different down payments, so be sure to talk to a lender about your options before you set that budget.

3. Only getting a rate quote from one lender. You should always shop around to more than one lender. Different lenders offer different loan programs, so talk to a few before you make a decision.

4. Draining your savings to buy a house. There are lots of unexpected costs throughout the home-buying process, so be sure to leave a cushion in your account after that down payment.

5. Falling in love with a house based on its design without strongly considering its location and structural inadequacies. Location is everything -- you can change the decor, but you can't change the foundation and structure of a home. Don't get distracted by that Pottery Barn furniture or the Anthropologie accents when you're house shopping.

If you want to avoid these pitfalls, you need to hire a trusted real estate agent to help you through the home-buying process 🙋🏻‍♀️.

3 Things You Should Expect When You Start Your 2022 Home Search ⤵️

So you want to buy a home in 2022? GREAT!

But before you start your search, you should know that 2022 is set to be another BUSY year in real estate; there are a few situations you should be prepared for.

1. LOW INVENTORY

While we won't see a repeat of 2021, you should expect low inventory and high demand. To avoid panic-buying, be sure to know what you want *and* what you can actually afford.

2. SELLER’S MARKET

Thanks to that low inventory and high demand, you can expect a strong seller’s market. Be sure to hire a trusted Realtor to help you come to the table with the best offer possible.

3. PRICE APPRECIATION

We'll see home prices continue to rise in 2022, but don't expect another 2021!

Is a new home in your future? If so, reach out! I'd love to chat with you about what you're looking for! Shoot me a DM any time.
