WEALTH-BUILDING VEHICLE
Investing in rental properties can generate income and significant tax benefits as well as build equity from appreciation over the years and decades.

IS REAL ESTATE, RENTAL PROPERTY INVESTING FOR YOU?
Consider your investment preferences and personal temperament. Do you have the time to devote to real estate investing? Are you comfortable troubleshooting problems or hiring a property manager?

FINANCIALLY FIT
Pay particular attention to your monthly budget and make sure that you have adequate insurance coverage. Most successful real estate investors build their real estate investment portfolio through saving money and then gradually buying properties over years.

BUY A HOME TO LIVE IN FIRST
Real estate is an investment that you can live in or rent to produce income. You can also derive large tax-free profits when you sell your principal residence at a higher price than you paid for it. See your tax accountant for advice.

FOCUS ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Residential property is an attractive investment and is easier to understand, purchase, and manage than most other types of property. If you're a homeowner, you already have experience locating, purchasing, and maintaining residential property.

BE READY WITH A REAL ESTATE TEAM
Have your real estate team in place before you begin your serious property searching. Line up a real estate agent, loan officer, tax advisor, lawyer, early on. The real estate investor with the best resources can identify the properties to ignore and those worthy of careful consideration. Move quickly — the speed at which you can close a transaction is an advantage in any type of market.
