Hi Sean,
Thanks for the list of common errors people make when investing in the real estate market. The area that I’m most concerned about would be being able to evaluate a property before I invested in it.
I’d really want to get someone else to do give me a report on the condition of the property. I don’t feel I’d know enough about what I need to look for.
before you make an investment in the real estate market, or any investment really, you need to atleast have an idea of what you are getting yourself into or else you are just a gambler, not an investor….and even professional gamblers study the game.
