Investment Property Buying Checklist
Built by investors for investors
Step 1
Secure Your Financing
Financing is key to a successful investment. Start by exploring:
- Traditional mortgages
- Hard money loans
- Private lending
- DSCR loans for rental properties
Step 2
Get Pre-Approved
Understanding your budget and securing pre-approval gives you a competitive edge. Lenders will verify your income, credit, and investment experience to determine how much you can borrow.
Step 3
Choose an Investor-Focused Real Estate Agent
Not all agents understand investment strategies. Source One Realty specializes in cash flow analysis, market trends, and acquisition strategies to help you maximize ROI.
Step 4
Identify the Right Investment Property
Define your investment strategy:
- Fix-and-Flip: Short-term hold for high returns
- BRRRR Method: Buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat
- Buy-and-Hold: Long-term cash flow and appreciation
We analyze deals, evaluate ARV, and provide insights on rental demand.
Step 5
Make an Offer & Negotiate
We help you craft competitive offers that align with your investment goals, considering property condition, market comps, and exit strategies.
Step 6
Inspections & Due Diligence
A detailed home inspection is crucial, along with title searches, appraisals, and compliance checks. We’ll guide you through the due diligence process to ensure a solid investment.
