Investing · Start with the reason
Start with the strategy, then consider the property.
Start with your goals, how long you expect to own, and how much risk you’re comfortable taking.
Build my investment criteriaWhere to start
Three questions worth answering.
How much time and money can you commit to repairs, tenant needs and ongoing management?
What would vacancies, unexpected repairs or a slower resale mean for your budget and timeline?
How Brian helps
How we’ll work together.
We’ll get clear on what you want from the investment, then narrow the search around your budget, timeline and priorities.
I’ll research comparable sales and rents and help you weigh the price, potential repairs and ongoing costs.
I’ll guide the transaction from offer through closing and coordinate with your lender and other advisers along the way.
The investment lens
Four decisions before the property search.
Your search criteria should connect the property, its price, and its potential use to your investment goals.
Set your goal.
Are you looking for rental income, a home to renovate and resell, long-term growth, or something else? We’ll start there.
Consider how long you’ll own.
Consider how long you expect to own, what could change, and your options if you need to sell.
Choose your role.
Decide how much management, improvement, tenant coordination, and day-to-day attention fits your life.
Know your limits.
Identify what you need to verify, the cash you need to keep available, and the risks you’re willing to take.
Brian provides real estate services, not legal, tax, or investment advice. Your own qualified advisers should evaluate those parts of the decision.
No pressure. Clear next steps.
