3. Compare Different Types of Properties
There are many different types of investment properties, so you need to review each one and see what’s best for you; duplexing a home and renting it, flipping a home, pre-construction condo, or getting a tenant for a residential property, etc. So together we can review all the options to decide which is the best option for you.
4. Understand Down Payment Requirements
