We’ll take you on a virtual tour of a four-bedroom home—a prime investment.
If you’re looking for an investment property but unsure what to buy, don’t worry—I know exactly what kind of property can give you the highest and most stable cash flow. The secret is not the size of the house but the number of bedrooms. Today, I will explain why a four-bedroom home is a worthwhile investment, plus a virtual tour of a model four-bedroom house.
When purchasing your first investment property, it’s crucial to consider the number of bedrooms as this will significantly influence the rental income potential. Properties with four bedrooms typically command higher rents compared to those with only three bedrooms.

If you’re considering buying an investment property, one crucial factor to consider when evaluating its potential is the need for costly repairs or upgrades. Today, I will highlight the top 3 big-ticket items that could drastically impact your cash flow while I walk you through an investment property:
When considering buying an investment property, it’s crucial to assess the condition of the roof as this will be quite costly to repair or replace. In this property, the roof is newer and is still in good condition, which makes it an attractive feature.

Understanding how cosmetic flaws affect a property’s income potential.
Before you invest in a property, it’s important to know which cosmetic items to prioritize. As an investor, I’m often willing to overlook minor cosmetic issues since they can lead to better deals without significant expenses or the need for immediate upgrades. However, you need to know what to fix to get a good return. That’s why I’m explaining how three common cosmetic issues affect your investment and how to navigate them:
