It's important to choose the right investment property. This site is mainly concerned with residential investment property in the UK - mostly known as buy to let investment property

What should you look for in a residential investment property for buy to let purposes ?  That's a question that would take more than this web page to provide a complete answer. There's a lot more detail in the free report and mini-series you can get on the buy to let home page here.   But here's a few pointers.

The investment property must be appealing to the prospective tenant. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, as you won't be living there.

Your investment property must be in the right location  e.g. near transport facilities, near a major employer, near university.

There must be demand for that type of investment property  e.g. 1-bed flats, terraces etc.

There mustn't be too much competition. If you see a forest of 'To Let' signs on 1-bed flats, then the market may be saturated in that area. Look for a property type which is in demand, but has lower supply. Or look in a different area.
