6 Location Secrets For Real Estate Investments 💰

[LegacyInvestingShow]

Here are the last two strategies:

5. Make Sure Rent Prices Justify Home Prices

One of the biggest mistakes new investors make? Buying in markets where rents don’t actually support home prices.

I use Rentometer and AirDNA to compare rents before buying.

For example, before buying in Atlanta, investors checked Rentometer to confirm that three-bedroom homes renting for $2, 000 per month weren’t overpriced.

If the numbers don’t make sense, you’re either overpaying or in the wrong market.

6. Avoid Disaster Zones

A location might seem perfect, but if it’s in a high-risk flood zone, your insurance costs can skyrocket—and that kills your cashflow.

Before I buy, I always check FEMA flood maps and past disaster data. An easy trick?

Just ask ChatGPT what natural disasters have happened in that city.
