Ultimate List of Questions for Newbie's Before Buying Property

[Katherine Lewis]

Hey Community,

New investor here. I've seen such a wealth of insights being offered across the many posts I've consumed since starting this journey. It's been hard to keep up, so I'd love one resource. I want to compile the 'Ultimate List of Questions for Newbie's Before Buying Property' (and then share it widely here!). So, would love to have all of you answer:

What are the most important questions you should be asking yourself as a new investor when evaluating your (first) property?

Did you learn something the hard way? What is the question you wished you asked first? Did asking one particular question save you from making a huge mistake?

As an example, one question I really like is "Do you have a pivot or exit strategy if STR stops working in your market?" (e.g. move to MTR etc.)

READY SET, GO!
