When investing in real estate there are many things to look for. One of these things is the location of the property. Is the property in a neighborhood that you will want to live? You can have a property that looks great but if the neighborhood is questionable it will be kind of hard to rent out or resell. It is almost in all cases better to buy a property that needs some work in a great neighborhood than the opposite. http://realestatefacttips.blogspot.com/2009/09/investing-in-real-estate-what-to-look.html
