- Before you invest you want to research: 1. Population growth in the city 2. Migration trends 3. Job supply and growth 4. Crime rate trendÂ
- Look at the year on cash flow. Is the deal going to be able to produce operational profitability in the first year?Â
- You don’t have to start as an active investor… you can start by investing with an operator, learning from them, and then moving into actually being active yourself.Â
