It cannot be sold at the same price that can be received in a posh or upscale area. Over-garnishing your plate is a strong no-go! The best way is to invest in apartments. These apartments are easier to maintain as people are also moving towards an apartment-living culture with time in urban developments. They are:

TIP #4 – APPLY 1% RULE

                        Still, confused about whether you should rent out the property you invest in or sell it right away? Why not rent it until you find the appropriate buyer at fixed profit returns? If you are buying a property, there are two options for you. Let us explain how you can apply the famous "1% Rule" if you rent out the stuff you invested in. This rule is used for quick estimation of the total cost and the returns which you can gain from it. It does not take into account the property, insurance, and taxes.

 The rent is charged equal to or greater than the investor's mortgage payment. The purchasing price and any other repairs are determining the base level of 1% monthly rent. Maintenance of the property is also one of the critical factors for keeping up with the total price and returns. However, if it is unused, it can be added to the profits you attain as an investor!

This means that if you bought a property worth $150,000, then your monthly rental income will be $150,000, multiplied by 1% equals to $1500.

• How much rent can you charge for your investment property?
• What renovations do you need?
• How to make it appealing for the expected buyers?
