Do your homework before buying investment property.
Investing in real estate is like any kind of investment — it’s wise to do your homework and assess both the benefits and the risks involved. If you’ve been thinking about buying investment property or taking on rental property loans,
consider the following:
-
Determine the type of property you want to invest in: rental homes, condominiums and so on.
-
Decide if you want to invest short- or long-term.
-
Ask yourself if you’re ready to be a landlord.
If you decide to purchase a rental property, research the property thoroughly to determine if the investment will be profitable.

The investment property loan process
​
If you plan to finance your investment property with a mainstream home loan (likely a conforming loan), the process will look very similar to any other home purchase. You will:
​
1. Get preapproved for financing
2. Find a home and make an offer
3. Apply for the loan
4. Lock an interest rate
5. Go through the underwriting process
6. Sign final papers on closing day
​
As when buying a home for yourself, it’s a good idea to get preapproved for a mortgage before you begin house hunting. That way, you’ll know how much home you can afford. And, more importantly, the seller and seller’s real estate agent will know you’re making a serious offer.
