When purchasing real estate, remember that you are only buying houses for other people to live in, not yourself.

This principal will help us to avoid the pitfalls of default thinking, which would have us believe that bigger investments, or nicer properties, are better, when in fact they usually aren't
IN FACT, Increases in rent don't keep pace with appreciation in value.
In other words, as property values increase, returns diminish
This means that you can make more money off of rent from two $250,000 houses than you can from one $500,000 house
The only thing worth considering when evaluating a potential investment property is how much money your investment will make (=,%) compared to how long it will take to earn it, and how much risk there is that you will loose it.
Develop clarity of exactly what you're looking for as an investor. The more specific you can be while searching for an investment, the more time you will save, which ultimately translates into money made.
Figure out what kind of profit you want to make from an investment
The more specific you can be about what you're looking for, the better chance you'll have of finding it
Create a profile of your ideal investment Ex. 3 or more bedroom, 2 bath, 1850 SF, etc.
