Deciding on the perfect property for your needs can be daunting. Start by asking yourself, “what is the purpose of my purchase?” Investments need some consideration; for example, for how long do you wish to hold the property? Long-term investments might be more successful if a property already has quality tenants. On the other hand, while purchasing an empty building and filling it with a tenant is likely to give a greater profit, this carries a higher risk of long holding costs.
