First Time Real Estate Investors—How do I know if I’m making a good investment?—Investing in Suisun

First Time Real Estate Investors—How do I know if I’m making a good investment?—Investing in Suisun

First, what are your financial reasons for wanting to invest in real estate?  College education for your kids?  Money to travel the world?  Extra retirement funds?  All of the above?  Good!!   For every Suisun investment property you purchase, you should have a financial goal tied to it.  This way, you will be able to analyze properties knowing what your financial needs are.  It’s like those Fidelity commercial with the green line, you’ve got to know where you want to go, to get there.   This will serve as your anchor when the market seemed to being just the opposite of what you hope.  This anchor will keep you on a steady path through the ups and downs.

Next, you’ve got to realize some of the financial difference between an “owner-occupant”—someone who will live in the Suisun home they buy and an “investor”—someone who will not live in the Suisun home they buy.  When it come to financing, banks know that most novice investors don’t do their due diligence in evaluating a property and that means a higher risk to the bank to lend the money.  Therefore, the banks charge a slightly higher interest rate to investors and require more of a down payment.  Typically, banks will charge 1% to 1.5% more on the interest rate and require 25% to 30% down on an investment property.  So just know you can’t buy an investment property with 3.5% down and 3.75% interest.
