Search all homes for sale How do we know when a property is a good investment deal? There are four major things we need to look at to before we decide to buy: 1. Pricing. Is the property price in line with the market, as well as features of the home? We need to pull values and look at criteria, such as curb appeal, bathrooms, and amenities. We want the price to make sense with what we’re getting. 2. Features and benefits. You need to decide if it’s worth paying potentially tens of thousands more for a good view or a pool.

Would I be happy here long term?” 4. Condition. You may love a property, but it could become a money pit if it’s in bad condition.
