What should you check before buying a rental property?
Before buying a rental, check five things: the rent similar units really earn, every expense including vacancy, the building's condition, who will manage it and how much time that takes, and whether the property matches your goal of income, growth, or living in one unit.
| What to check | Why it matters | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Realistic rent | Income is what similar units actually rent for, not the best case. | What do comparable units nearby rent for today? |
| All the expenses | Taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, and vacancy reduce what you keep. | What did the property cost to run last year? |
| Condition | Roof, plumbing, and electrical can turn into large repairs. | What will an inspection find? |
| Management | Your own time is a cost if you manage it yourself. | Will you manage it or hire someone? |
| Your goal | Monthly income, long-term growth, or living in one unit change the right choice. | What do you want this property to do for you? |
