If You're Actively Investing, What Would You Do?

[Brandon Coble]

As we currently sit, interest rates are moving in a favorable direction meaning more and more buyers will begin to enter the market for investment properties. With a large increase in buyers, we can expect to see prices increase. Seasoned investors could care less what the interest rates - they are more worried about profit - while the laymen sit on the sidelines waiting for (a perceived) better opportunity. 

To all "new" or inexperienced investors: What are you looking for? What is holding you back? If the perfect deal came around, what would it need to look like for you?

I now speak to the experienced investors: Where are you putting your funds? What type of properties do you look for? What are a few things you look for in a good deal?

My investment criteria never changed.  That means in the frothy times, it is harder to find deals that meet my criteria, so less money gets deployed.  In challenging economic times, it is easier to find good deals, so more money gets deployed.  

I've seen some great deals lately.  I'm deploying more money now than last year at this time.
