Investing in older properties that are next to new buildings

[Jonathan Stevens]

Just wanted to get some insight from people with experience. I am looking at an area with other homes that need updates but there are new apartments being built close by. If I pursue these homes, am I going to have an uphill battle and what things should I be including in my rentals to make it more attractive?

Better to buy the crappiest property on the best block than the best property on the crappiest block!

Best to comp finishes as best as you can to the new property and price at a discount (15%-25%) depending on amenities offered and present your property as a budget friendly alternative!
