Be Ready to Move and to Expect the Worst

Keeping an open mind when it comes to investing in properties is also important. You may find an investment property that meets all of your needs in an unexpected location. It may end up being that property has a better return on investment than any other properties, even though you may not have chosen that location. Furthermore, during due diligence, you may find that the return on investment is not as high as you expected, or that the location ends up being less than expected. It's always best to resist jumping into a project just because you love it or because it seems like the perfect property.

Once you have found that perfect investment property, be ready to make an offer and put down the good faith money. You should also be ready to have the offer countered or denied. In other words, don't have just one property in mind. Have a list of three or four properties you are interested in. This way, if your offer is not accepted because the seller accepted another offer, you will already have another property to make an offer on. You won't lose out on another good property because you are conducting due diligence on that property.
