Top priorities when properties shopping

[Dave Chow]

Hey BP members,

What are the top priorities that you would consider when purchase investment properties? It might also depends on if its rental property or flipper property too. But would think they are similar to each other. 

The following list is a reference:

Safety of neighborhood

 Amazing input Joe, thanks!

As a new investor I plan to follow this thread to get a sense of what some of the more experienced people place as priorities. Thanks OP!

 Your welcome.  Most people interested in learning would ask "why".

Top three priorities, for both flips and holds, in no particular order:

Flips

*  Profit

*  Big Profit

*  Bigger Profit

Holds

*  Positive Cash Flow

* high positive Cah Flow

*  Higher Positive Cash Flow
