Where Should I Invest to Get the Best Equity?  

Gene will assist you in finding the best location or neighborhood you want to invest in--where these types of homes can easily be found. We are fortunate in that Northern Virginia Metro Area is densely populated, resulting in many opportunities for the real estate investor to find his or her ideal targeted property type.  It's important to optimize your rental income by choosing real estate that will command the best rental income in neighborhoods where rental are in high demand, such as those found near public transportation and commuter routes.  

How Do I Get the Best Return on My Investment Dollar?

Ideally you want to choose a property that you believe will appreciate at above-average rates and then purchase it at a discount.  The discount is important because it represents built-in profit as well as equity.  This is termed "margin of safety."  As stated by successful investment real estate investors Jimmy & Linda McKissack of Highland Village, TX:

"When we started out, we decided our basic formula was to put down 20 percent cash, buy at least 10 percent below market value, and cash flow of a minimum of $200 a month after taxes, insurance, principal and interest and property management fees.  And it had to do that on a 15-year payout."

Once you select the Northern Virginia area you are invested in investing in, you'll need to decide what features and amenities you want, such as number of stories, parking, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, finished living areas you want.  For example, if homes in the area mostly have basements, you will want to select a home with a basement.  If homes have at least 1-car garages, then you should select potential homes to purchase that have at least a 1-car garage.  You need to focus on bedroom and bathroom count as the rental markets vary according to what neighborhood you decide to target.
