Who do I turn to when initially searching for my investment prop?
I'm brand new to this so kindly use single syllable words in your responses (I'll most likely Google your lingo).
That opener should let you know how green I am to this. I live in central TX and I would like to invest in a local rental property (single or possible duplex). There is a large hospital in the area & I hope to rent to medical residents.
What are my first steps in locating my potential properties?
1) Do I look to purchase a property that is already listed?
> should I look online (zillow for example) & then go through just the listing agent (in hopes of shaving off the full 6% commish) when I find a property that I am interested in?
2) Drive around and find neighborhoods that are well groomed and have a history of low crime THEN look for listings in that area?
Thank you!
