When buying a house for investment purposes you still need to take care with the location of it. If you wouldn't want to live there, neither would other people. Put yourself in the renter's shoes. He or she will require schools, shops and other amenities just the same as you would. If you are buying to sell at a profit, then don't choose a house that has been on the market for a long time. If it is not selling quickly now, it probably won't sell quickly later. Position may also count if you are going to look after the property yourself. If it's a long way from where you live, this could cost more and be a trouble. If you can pay someone else to collect the rent and do the inspections, then it may not matter. When you are working out the figures, remember to allow for the possibility of no rent coming in. Your expenses must still be paid on time, whether the rent is coming in or not. Set goals for your investment strategy. Decide when you will sell and what you'll do with the money. These goals need to be flexible in case prices fall or other things happen to prevent them, but simply having a goal will help to keep your investment plans on track.
