Investment Properties…What you need to know before buying a rental property

Purchasing a home to live in is quite different from purchasing a property to invest in. For the majority of us, purchasing a home to live in tends to insight a lot of emotions. With investment properties it is important to leave your emotions behind, and focus more on the financial aspect. Don’t forget that the objective of purchasing an investment property is to make money. Here are few things to take into consideration before purchasing a rental property:


1. How much can I afford?


2. Should I use my own money or borrow to invest? What are my options?


3. What type of tenants do I want to attract?


4. What type of rental property makes a good investment?


5. Is the rental property I am about to purchase a good deal?


6. Is the rental property I am about to purchase situated in a good location?


7. What is my investment strategy?

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK....Don't Make a Move Without Calling Them First!

I just want to thank TWO MEN AND A TRUCK for the great service they provided my client. Last month, I sold a client's home located in Brampton West and assisted him in the purchase of a home in Downtown Brampton. After interviewing several movers, my client selected TWO MEN IN A TRUCK to do his packing, moving and unpacking and was extremely pleased with the service he received.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has been around for more than 25 years and are the largest local moving franchise in North America. While the majority of their business is residential, they do business and commercial moves. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK  also assists homeowners in Brampton and Mississauga who are preparing their home for sale, redecorating, or are planning a major renovation. They will help pack, move furniture from room to room, place your items in storage and then return them when requested.


For a free in-home move consultation call and ask for Joe Piercey at 905-799-2636 (Brampton) or 905-238-9707 (Mississauga North).
