Your first step in locating attractive, rentable real estate is finding the right real estate broker. Especially if you are looking to purchase real estate outside of your home area, a real estate broker will be able to match properties with your needs and will be best able to determine the profitability of a particular real estate purchasing option. Remember that in terms of cost, you need to be sure that you will make a profit on your real estate investment, even during times of only partial occupancy, so be sure not to pay more than you can afford, no matter how attractive the real estate.

Be sure to get any potential real estate investments thoroughly inspected, and do not settle upon a property needing extensive repairs, no matter the price. Many real estate investors have found themselves in deep financial difficulty after making such a mistake. Look for a real estate investment that is sound, in good repair, and ready-to-let.

(Even after you find the right real estate, take a long, hard look at its surroundings. In what kind of neighborhood is the real estate situated? Will the neighborhood be attractive to the right kind of tenants? Are schools, shopping areas, and recreational areas close at hand?

Remember that a successful real estate investment search depends upon your ability and desire to shop around. Do some comparison shopping, just like you would for a car or stereo set. You might find a great property right off the bat, but who's to say that something better isn't just around the corner?
