431: Demographics Are The Limiting Factor When Identifying Real Estate With Great Underlying Value

Buying a great property at a fair price beats buying a poor property at a cheap price. When buying property, it’s essential to do enough due diligence on the property and the market to determine the future prospects for that property. It’s critical to evaluate rent to average income ratios to determine whether local renters can afford to live in your property. It’s also important to evaluate diversification within the local economy to mitigate risk of a stagnant or shrinking rental pool. If there’s a recession, you need to know the risks of increased vacancy and lower rents.
