Abstract

In order to successfully invest in real estate, investors must become the basics that govern real estate investments. It is important to become familiar with the target market and its upward and downward trends. Also, evaluation of the neighborhood area is imperative in order to determine the desirability of the overall area. The investment property itself also needs to be evaluated for marketability, potential repairs and resale. Once, these basic evaluations are performed, the cost analysis of investment and potential profitability must be reviewed. A combination of all of these items will enable an investor to make sound investment choices.

When investing in real estate determining which investments will be profitable is the key. This study will provide a historical view of real estate and how real estate can be a viable investment. The study also describes various real estate investment opportunities and how to evaluate their profitability. The study then delineates a summarizing plan of how to find investment property, how to evaluate it, and how to cost analyze its potential profitability.
