A useful search begins with a thoughtful checklist.
Define the purpose of the purchase.
A long-term rental, a second home, and a renovation project involve different questions. Start by explaining the use you are considering.
Identify the property information you need.
Ask for available details about condition, taxes, insurance, association costs, maintenance, and other ownership expenses. Verify the information that matters to your decision.
Investigate the intended rental use.
Confirm applicable property, association, and local requirements with the appropriate sources before relying on a rental plan.
Build your own property-specific analysis.
Review financing, income assumptions, costs, vacancies, and contingencies with qualified professionals as appropriate. A property listing is a starting point, not a return forecast.
A clear question is more useful than a generic promise.
BEFORE YOU COMPARE PROPERTIES
Bring the numbers and the questions together.
Prepare a property comparison using the asking price, financing assumptions, available rent information, taxes, insurance, association fees, maintenance, management, vacancy, and reserves. Ask which figures are documented and which remain estimates.
For a duplex or multifamily property, request the available lease and operating information. For a condo or intended short-term rental, verify the proposed use with the relevant association and local sources before relying on rental income. Paul can help you identify property questions to pursue with the appropriate professionals.
