Desktop research versus walking the streets.⁠

The location of your property plays a fundamental role in how successful your investment will be, so it is crucial you conduct an in-depth research into the right locations before you even start looking at buying properties. But no amount of research will be able to identify the things you can gather by physically visiting the area and walking the streets.⁠ ⁠ When walking the streets I always try to do these 3 things:⁠ 1. Ask myself if I’d want to live there. If the answer is no, then you shouldn’t be investing as any prospective tenant or buyer would probably also not want to live there.⁠ 2. Try to talk to the neighbors if I can to get the low-down on the street situation.⁠ 3. Use my gut instinct as this is usually always right!⁠ ⁠ I’ve put together this free guide where I go deeper into how I source the right investment area.
