Everything you need to know to invest in real estate

• Study the location. The price and attractiveness of a property depend a lot on where it's located. An active area near services such as schools, shops and public transport is a positive point of investment. We also recommend you to report on the building projects that are planned in the neighbourhood to get an idea of how it will be in the future and assess whether you really want to have a property there.

• Bet on residential properties if the area where you want to invest has few population, because they tend to be more profitable than offices and other commercial properties. In contrast, in highly populated areas the second option becomes more attractive.

• Watch over the reforms. Sometimes it seems that you only have to fix some little things, but then the unexpected arrives and you don't have enough money. Analyse the state of the property and the reform that would have to be done and then calculate upwards how much it would cost you.

• Do not lose control of maintenance costs. While the property is yours, these expenses will be your responsibility.

• Ask for help from a professional. Not all people who wants to invest are experts in the real estate sector. Do not be afraid to ask for help. A professional knows all the options better than you and will know how to guide you on the best way.

• Be rational. Take the time you need to analyse all the factors of the investment. Being too emotional can make you forget about primordial things.
